Looks good! Sometimes these minor details make a big difference. What type of paint did you use, spray on or with a brush?

I used the G2 paint that is brushed on. Except I didn't use the pathetic brush that comes with it because that leaves brush strokes in the paint. Instead I got some foam brushes from Home Depot

Looks really really good brother! so I have yet to paint my calipers but you think the brush on is better to use than the spray can method ive looked at the G2 paints...does it come with a clear coat or something or is it an all in one?

I like the brush on for ease of use. A lot less prep because you can control where the paint goes a lot better, even though I did use bodyshop paper and masking tape for prep.
I had gloss clear on stand by if I needed it, high temp engine paint works well for brakes. It doesn't come with the G2 kit, but it is glossy enough without clear.

Thanks guys for the responses
