| I think the newer Bs must have better paint/plating on the calipers as mine after about 9 months still look virtually new, whereas on my last B the calipers looked dull & rusty looking in under 6 months.
They were so bad that I had to paint them. I used a good quality high temperature engine paint which being thin went on easily and did not burn off. Also 2/3rds the price of caliper paint.
Probably won't have to worry about doing the new calipers for a year or so but I have done the Disk/rotor centres (hub) as they look awful very quickly.
One of the troubles with the 5 spoke wheels is that you see a lot of the calipers, disks/rotors & hubs
PS. if you do the disk centres make sure you don't get the paint on the Pad swept area of the disk
