Ooh look!!! Rusty Calipers!!

Last time I tried substituting ceramic pads they ended up noisy, ate disks, and had issues with wet braking. It has been at least a decade, so things might have changed.

I had 7-series BMW that dusted a lot with very hard to clean rims. After trying different approaches, the lesser evil was to accept and live with the dust.

UK,
Did you try soaking them in Sonax Full Effect, and letting sit on them for 10 minutes or so? I hadn't cleaned my wheels for 3 weeks or so, and noticed this past weekend that there was a small area, which was developing the same rusty color as yours. Sonax removed it and mine are still nearly as silver as new.
I think the reason mine have stayed that way is that I've been using Sonax every 2 weeks or so since almost new.

I bought my other Car 3 months before the F-Type and the Brakes still look like this:
My Wife drove a 2013 BMW with big Blue M Calipers and they looked brand new when we sold it to get the Jag. So it just seems so odd that the Calipers on the F-Type have turned out this way. The rears are fine btw.

Thanks Foosh. No I haven't tried that, I should. The Calipers are pretty much 80% discolored, I've never seen this before on such a new Car.

Try Sonax, but they could be too far gone. I do know that routine use from early on has kept mine looking decent.

Well a little BRG image search:
Yellow on BRG is not my thing.
Gold is not my thing.
Orange is not my thing.
BUT...I shall not judge, as this just popped up, and in conjunction with scissor doors, I just can't even (as it were):
If you can't get enough of bad cars, this Japanese garage celebrating the Yakuzi "stylings" is just too much:

I have used caliper paint in a spray can at least a dozen times and never had a problem, $20 or so and you are done!
More if you want decals and/or clear coat on top.

Just got a quote from Alpha AutoSports in Glendale to powder coat the four calipers for $400. They have 6,000 colors to choose from.
"We fully chemically strip the old coating and add 3 stage powder coating along with ceramic coating for easy maintenance. If booked with appointment it's same Day service."
I'm going for it and will post the before & after pics.
