On my MK6 GTI, the calipers are painted in a single stage red paint unlike other Germans like Audi, Mercedes, or BMW`s with the upgraded brake packages. I`ve hit them with a AIO with a sealant about once every two years and that has kept them looking OK, but I`m sure the protection was short lived. I`m not sure a coating would be worth it on the single stage paint and am now looking at hitting them with some G2 brake paint.
Our GLI came from the factory with single-stage red front calipers, while the rear ones (I think these are TRW-made) seem to have been powder coated. I usually just clean and seal the rear ones. I don`t make a big deal of doing the fronts, but just do a quick Iron X application and cleaner wax once in a while, which brings back the shine.
