Well I'm glad I found this thread. The previous owner of my '17 991.2 CPO I bought four months ago had the stock base calipers powder coated red. I kind of winced when I saw the color in the dealer pictures; knowing it was highly unlikely that S brakes were fitted. (Based on the look of the calipers I am 99% sure they are base brakes).
Anyway, I mulled over putting them back to black, but have decided I kind of like them. The red seems to compliment the GT Silver; it gives a little splash of color in the wheel interior. Of course he (I assume) also removed all the rear deck lid script; but I did not like the nekkid butt look so had my local dealer supply and fit all three of the badges, which I think looks much better.
Anyway, glad that it sounds like I won't be drummed out of the Corps for having Red calipers on a base 911.

Of the brakes? Well, I'm pretty sure they are stock front brakes, since the disk measures 330 mm across, and they don't have the aluminum hub / cast iron friction ring of the S brakes. They look pretty though lol...

I agree with the majority that it's your car so do as you like.
However, I would be concerned about the durability of rattle-can paint. So, I would consider removing the calipers and taking them to someone to be powder coated.
