Looks great! 
You just caused me to realize how I'm going to spend some time next week (it's our "vacation" week). I'm going to paint my calipers!
Did you use Duplicolor paint (the kind you get from like Auto Zone)? I've often wondered if their red will match my torch red. Someone on here said they thought it would.
I'm sure plenty of people around here have some painting work for you should you run out of your own projects!

Looks Great ,
I painted mine last week, but didnt paint the bracket around the caliper, just the actual caliper... After seeing yours, I think I might paint the rest, kinda complete the look!

Looks good, I see that you have a set of splash guards there.
Those really set the look and shows you have a high I.Q. Did you paint the wheels?

red calipers
You can get paint specifically for calipers- should come close to matching your torch red. I painted mine on my black GT - Really sets it off with the chrome fan blade wheels. I used brake cleaner on mine before I painted.

The calipers look great. I was going to do mine, but (whenever my wheels get in), I don't think I'll be able to see them as much so it probably isn't worth it for me.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

those looks great...much better than the crappy work I did on mine. I'm just not talented with a spray or a brush
