Default Cleaned up engine bay and painted brake calipers

So here is my car. I bought it from a guy that let the engine bay go.... Really go. It was full of leaves and dirt. I used black magic 2 in 1 engine cleaner. I am going to do it again later this week because i am going to a show on saturday. Also, i painted my calipers red and the brackets black. Let me know what you guys think.

Not bad looks like you need to get the tooth brush and the rags out and start wiping it down. Remove some stuff if you have to that way you can clean them better and clean behind them. Remove the battery and the overflow, unbolt the fuse boxes,remove the rad shroud and clean it up good, and you get the point.
