Brembo brake callipers discolouration

Hi.
I have had a set of TDV8 callipers replaced under warranty by my dealer as they sprayed TRF all over them and my side steps.
Why are the Brembos on my TDV8 a sh***y colour that will eventually discolour again and not gloss black like the ones on a SC??
Can anyone recommend a painter or a solution.
PS car is in for service at the moment to have a new turbo fitted, new arms to hopefully solve knock and some other bits and bobs.
Cheers.
Even though about buying some new SC callipers and selling my current ones. Blick with blick windows, big wheels, tow bar for nickin, side steps for the tart, DVD screens for on the go porn, 22" Stormers black and polished... as a matter of fact just about every box ticked.....if I`m going down I`m going down BIG time. Wink))
Ducati 1098S for the road and track and KTM 250EXC smoker for the mud.

Same here.
The ones I fitted to my previous TDV6 were gloss black and looked much better.

My TDV8 has the nice gloss black, I've seen some with the sort of matt grey/black and wondered if there was any difference.
