'Sand' coloured Sport borders are very common but I prefer the black with red and white kerbing. Anyone successfully painted sand coloured black, if so what paint did you use please?

Obviously not an issue for others so I've pressed ahead and experimented with Autotek Satin Black spray.
Certainly looks the part, indistinguishable from an original black border and doesn't flake or peel off when twisted or bowed in the hand.
I guess being an exterior car paint it should be durable too but only time will tell.

Missed this post yesterday.
I repainted sand borders (and black track) to grey.
Cleaned borders with industrial scale builders wipes, used an automotive primer, then painted with Ultra smooth masonry paint.
No issues with paint lifting.
Primer was possibly unnecessary?
Borders are easier as you don't have to mask the rails!
If I was just doing borders, then yeah, automotive spray paint would be my choice.
