    My car is perrrrfffeccct except I bought it with 4k miles onthe clock and the brake calipers are black and I want them yellow with the ferrari logo. I guess the cheapest way will be to get my Ferrari dealer to get mine painted ??

    What color is your CS and does it have a stripe?

    Do Ferrari use the same colour coding scheme as Porsche? Where as yellow brake calipers mean carbon/ceramic brakes, and any other color means standard brakes?

    Caliper color is purely a cosmetic option...both iron and carbon brakes can be had in stock black, or about $1000 for silver, rosso corsa, rosso scuderia, or yellow.

    I don't think painting is an option as the heat generated is severe and the original paint is incorporated in the building of the calliper. may need to buy replacements but I could be wrong.
    rock on

    Calipers are painted at the supplier's factory. Many have painted theirs after the fact with no ill effects. It just needs to be done right.
