Some constructive feedback:
Don't ever paint calipers red unless they are Brembos or pretty big. But if you absolutely must, take them off the car, and take the time to prep them properly. It isn't hard at all to remove each caliper. Clean them with a wire wheel on a drill piece, then prep them with a rag to remove the rest of the brake dust. Spray hi temp primer, then hi temp paint. You should be aiming for 3+ light coats.
The issue with the way that you have done it is that you have basically painted over all the rubber seals, and because you haven't prepped them properly the paint won't stick sufficiently. In a couple of months you will get peeling and it will look like ****.
Also, for the love of god, get rid of the tow sticker and the tow hooks. It isn't a track car, clearly...just looks ridiculous in my opinion.

I thought the same, but saw some done in red and had to ask the owner if they had upgraded their brakes too, but were stock.
personal thing i guess

X2 on the tow sticker.
It kinda says my car breaks down a lot. My not label some of the other items on the car. It door handle etc.
Do what ever with the painted brakes, but it they should be removed and prepped for best results.
