Garage has scraped paint off caliper- advice needed

[Homer]

Hi Folks,

Got the rear pads changed yesterday along with some other things and have noticed that some paint has come off the rear caliper. Should I ask the garage to sort it or this something that can be done easily myself- i.e. buy the right colour paint and just paint it myself? Thanks for any input.

where the calipers painted or powder coated

Standard GTI Red Caliper- not sure if that means its powder coated or not

It's just painted. You can touch it up yourself if you don't want to try asking the garage to sort it.

thanks for the replies, any idea what the paint code would be? Thanks.

Anyone used the above? Any good?

Any high temperature paint will suffice. Hammerite direct to rust smooth red has been used successfully by some forum members.

The critical part, as with any type of painting, is the preparation.
