Are we talking paint chips or scuffs on the paint? If theyre just scuffs you may want to try a good claybar. Or a meguiars step one paint cleaner. HTH.

Claybar and if that doesnt work you can try some scratch remover with an orange pad and porter cable to buff them out. If you want to go real aggressive on your paint you can try the scratch remover with a yellow foam pad and the porter cable.

my left rear did the same thing and it pretty much fuined my wheel. so i replaced the caliper and now it is trying to do the same thing. the sliders locked up on mine. is that what yours did?

Nope just the old age i guess.. the rubber around the caliper started tearing and just got worse and worse b4 i got a chance to fix it..
