Morning Guys.....I just have to know where to get the colored calipers.....well the white colored ones anyway...lol. I also need to find out who makes rotors that don't oxidize....I had my brakes done and drove it home flaming....the idiots changed the pads, but not the calipers....the calipers seized up and warped the rotors, so I had to have them changed....but now they won't stay shiny....they have a brownish powdery stuff....Looks nasty.....I want the good ones ....where would I find them.....Thanks.....Misty....

Brembo produces a zinc covered rotor that doesn't rust. I believe they offer an OE replacement for our car that is zinc covered, but don't quote me on that.

As far as colored calipers, you gotta do that yourself. Auto parts stores carry caliper paint. I used engine enamel covered by a high temp clearcoat to make mine nice and white.
