I've never been a fan of green on calipers, but I must admit, yours look pretty good!!! Good job!

Thank you again fellas, yeah I took a chance on this green.. Just soo glad it came out pretty good
Took me about 6/7 hours, blue taping everything took the longest other than the waiting game for paint to dry.. Sanded a little just to clean the dust and scarce the surface soo the paint sticks.. Calipers already have a smooth Surface soo heavy sanding wasn't needed, and also sprayed a lot of brake cleaner to fully clean.. 2 coats of primer (15 mins inbetween), 3 coats of paint (15 mins inbetween again), place the sticker on then sprayed 4 coats of clear (15 mins inbetween again).. Just a long process really..
