I recently spent over $1800cdn getting ALL my brakes replaced:

The brakes were done on March 29th, 2008. Approx 2 weeks ago I noticed when I was washing the car that the front calipers are RUSTED.. The calipers themselves are rusty-orange color now.. Now obviously I know the rotors will, but considering these ACDELCO's are not even 2 months old, and my ORIGINAL (Assume ACDELCO) up to 2007 were still the blackish color until I had them painted blue, were fine.. am I wrong to think I need to go back to the shop and complain?? I got an indoor car show coming up in 2 weeks and they look like CRAP!

Here is my ORIGINAL ones (pic taken 2007). (Bought car 1998; 10 years later no rust showing)

Here is a pic the day the car was brought home with the brand new ACDelco front calipers. No rust showing on outside.

I don't have any pictures of front view of the rusted calipers (GF is borrowing camera) so I actually have a picture of the inside view of the front calipers the day after. You can see the rust already forming.

Picture that rust covering the ENTIRE front caliper now!

Pics of gf.....Those caliper don't look to be painted. So, rust will happen.

 

So the original acdelo calipers from the factory are painted?
