One chip so far which was touched up. Still bright and shiny and no discoloration.

On my calipers it was actually the clear that was chipping off not the paint. Once I sanded with 1200 grit wet sandpaper and reapplied the clear it looked great.

I took a polish wheel to the calipers before I painted them. Dunno if that helped, but I have no chips or fading that I can tell.

Caliper paint
Did a little brake caliper paint job on my 2002 C4 cab.
Took a while, but was worth it!
PS: Put on some anthracite OZ racing rims and Continental 4 season tires for winter
