Glaze on Calipers peeled off

Sounds like your calipers were "painted" after the fact. The heat generated from the brakes is the probable cause of the pealing. I believe OEM calipers are powder coated just for this fact.

Actually that's not the case. The factory calipers have a clear coat that can be damaged. Mine started to peel a few years back and now they are totally flat red. Wheel and brake cleaners combined with high pressure washing is what caused my problem.
Live with it or repaint.

I had the same issue and it really bugged me. It reminded me of my first car, a red Toyota Celica that the paint faded and was almost redish pink.

Anyway its not perfect, but I took brake cleaner and cleaned my calipers really well making sure to chip off most of the peeling clear. Once they were clean and dry, I taped off the rotor and then resprayed the caliper with clear coat enamel in a can that I bought at like lowes for another project. It set up good and has not come off yet, and the calipers are shiny again. Will it last forever? Probably not, but I'm happy with it for now
