Painted the calipers, thoughts?

Did this Sunday afternoon. Was quite easy, took around 1 hour to complete.

- Removed the wheels.
-Taped off the area with plastic garbage bags and masking tape, covered the car with a painting sheet.
- Sprayed the calipers down with duplicolor caliper degreaser and scrubbed with a toothbrush.
- Rinsed the calipers with water and dried.
- In sweeping, steady strokes sprayed on the VHT caliper paint. 2 coats, 10 to 15 minute intervals between coats.
- Applied vinyl M/// Logo.
- sprayed the clear on in the same manner the paint was applied.
- Mounted wheels.

Used one of the large M/// logos on my ipad case, got a little crazy. ha.

I have to give the credit to Aceman for the inspiration, he did this to his 550i and it looked amazing. I had to follow suit.
