Rusty Brake Calipers

I recently bought my 2 year old V50 but (the wife) noticed the brake calipers are rusty. Is this a warranty issue? Can i paint them with Hammerite? thanks!

Dont know about the warranty side but you can deffinately paint them with Hammerite, halfords also sell caliper paint

I cannot imagine it being a warranty issue since it's purely cosmetic and has absolutely no influence on function. But it wouldn't hurt to ask your dealer
