Leased vehicle painted caliper

Does anyone know if I could paint my caliper to red, but the vehicle is lease. I purchased the excess wear and tear protection.

Please let me know guys!!

You should ask whichever company you are leasing from if you can modify their car

I would and then just deal with it later. Worse case - have to put it back to OEM.

I am due to return my car next month and they actually send the someone home to inspect your vehicle couple months before you return your lease in. They will pick out things that you need to replace or repair back to the factory setting so that you are not stuck with huge repair bills. They are the third party but he was very detailed and take all the pictures. I can tell you, you have to put every small things back to OEM factory settings before you return back to the dealership. So I wouldn't recommend not to switch or modify anything unless if you can or if you are willing to spend money down the road to replace all those parts back to the factory setting.

Technically no, but more importantly, why would you even want to?

I've seen people wrap calipers on youtube and they seem to have good luck. maybe try that out since it's easily reversible.

Thanks! I'm afraid the high temperature on break will burn the wrap since I'm taking the car on track

I can't wrap (pun intended) my brain around the wrap getting into all of the nooks and crannies of a caliper and actually sticking. Heck at that point, R&R them and have them powder coated.

I thought the same things. It might be worth a shot. Beats having to powdercoat twice
