Looks good man but those calipers and mounting brackets are begging for some loving. Take em off hit them with Duplicolor paint of your color choice. I used three coats of Red with three coats of 1000 degree clear engine enamel. They still look awesome after two years of daily driving.

I haven't had a problem even using their regular 500* engine paint either.
This last time was the first time I've clearcoated brake calipers. I bought two new calipers and sprayed them and the brackets with a few coats of the black sandable primer. Let that dry for a bit and then came back and hit it all with a couple coats of 500* engine clearcoat. I didn't put a basecoat down at all so we'll see how the clear holds up.
On my thirdgen I just used this primer by itself on the C4HD brakes that I put on the car and they looked great until I got rid of the car (over a year of using the C4HD brakes).
The clearcoat gave them a glossy look instead of the flat black look I had on the thirdgen's brakes.
