my factory black m calipers have slightly dulled and there is some peeling and wearing of the clear coat.

does anyone know what black paint and clear coat is used from the factory to do the calipers?

thanks.

i don't think our calipers came painted from the factory... maybe it was the previous owners job that is starting to flake off?

They should be black powdercoat oem. My coupe was at least. OP, buy some brake caliper paint at Canadian tire and retouch them.

I am original owner, but thanks to all who replied, they definitely did come with a black clear coat from the factory.

Yes, they come in glossy black. Mine have faded to matte as well. (cooking them at track events probably didn't help)
