Looks good! If it does flake off you can always redo it 
BTW is there any after paint coat that we can put on to protect it and make it shine?
And can I use this same paint to paint my front grills??

Yeah I know. Even though I doubt it'll fall because I sanded really well.

I used a coat of clear coat on mine to really bring out the luster.

Hahaha just make sure the calipers are completely clean before you clear coat them or you will seal in the break dust.
Ok, Thanks. I'll probably do it with a wet paper towel or something.

wouldn't it have been easier just taking the calipers off and cleaning it with some solvent or something instead of masking everything around it and sanding it??
