Red AMG brake calipers

Hi there,

Hope i am not the only person wondering this.

I had my silver AMG brake calipers painted/sprayed red recently and now it gets dirty often/easily and i wonder if this is normal... (my car is fresh off the dealer for a few days and i decided to have the brake painted red) because often when i browse around in internet forums, i never see any Ferrari Lamborghini Porsche AMG with dirty brake calipers and i mean these cars pictures were taken when they were parked around town so shouldnt be a well cleaned car for photographs purposes.

Hope someone can give me a quick confirmation... this is bugging me as i am now assuming that my painter didnt applied an anti-dust paint??? Or is there even such paints?

Mine are always dirty. The red shows the dirt quickly. You could try some low dust brake pads when you are due to change next.
