Brake fluid eats paint. But, at least with the black calipers, it does not. Whatever coating is used on the calipers is resistent to brake fluid. When we bleed the brakes and then remove the tube from the nipple some fluid dribbles out of the end of the tube onto the caliper. Never seen any damage to the coating.

Do not know if it is the same with red calipers. Are you positive it was not like that before the brake fluid change. There are some S owners who have had the calipers replaced under warranty because the coating did not look good over time, but this was unrelated to brake fluid getting on them.
