2) If they remove and repaint, same concern as above, and any paint system they use will surely be different than what the brake caliper manufacturer is using (which is undoubtedly a specially-developed paint for brake applications to withstand high temp)

My personal philosophy is generally never to let the dealer touch the car. Ever.
Especially when you're talking about safety-critical parts like brakes.
So do you not take the car in for service and do everything yourself? I don't think I'm comfortable doing a brake job on a $100k car myself . Also what about the break in service?
