Does anyone know of a place that sells red brake calipers for an 86 951?

You could have them rebuilt at www.goldlinebrakes.com and have them powdercoat them red...

Unless you want to shell out $$$ for "big reds", most people just paint them.

After thinking about it, may car is black, I'm going to stick with black. Now I need to find a rear pair of calipers in black, cause the PO painteed them red, or just paint them black myself.

Easy to paint them yourself.

What type of paint would I use? Is the "Porsche" part a sticker?

No the "Porsche" is raised lettering and is part of the caliper.

It looks like black is really cheap since most people want bright colors.

I used the red and it was $20. Make sure you really clean them REALLY well first though. Careful preparation will make the result last longer and look much better.
