I like it! I kinda have a soft spot for OD green being a soldier and all. I would suggest doing the emblems in matte black for the chrome parts and the same OD green for the filler or if you do the calipers in gold(do a satin gold if you can), then do the filler on the emblems to match. Otherwise just do your calipers black to match the rims and if possible do the V emblem on the calipers in the green. Just throwing some ideas out there.

Satin black emblems ect., wouldn't do yellow calipers. Maybe a pinup bomber girl would be cool. I like it though!
