So the brake callipers on my 928 were looking in a bit of a sorry state. Looks like they started out like black then got hand painted some time ago and had flaked off and turned pink. With no time/desire to get them fully refurbished at the moment I picked up a can of red calliper paint and a paint brush from Halfords thinking what's the worst that can go wrong. I have to say I am absolutely amazed by the outcome. I didn't think brushed on paint would provide a good finish at all but the paint seems very easy to work with and flattens out to a smooth glossy surface before drying. Obviously I have painted these in situ so the backs aren't done but I can live with that. I don't of course know how long the finish will last either.
Here are some before after pics.
