IDK about chipping as only time will tell, but my gold was chipped really bad so either way they will chip. I did use 900 degree paint and baked them for 3hrs to cure the finish. When installing my brake pads after painting I was hammering the the pins that hold the pads into place and hit the caliper a few times on accident, it didn't chip them surprisingly but this is the only test they have gone through so far. I can post pics in a few months of how they look. I picked up some brush on caliper paint for touch ups as I am expecting chips!
