Default Purple Brake calipers ??

Hey, need an opinion ? I painted my calipers purple (my fav color) , but I think I want to paint them cast aluminum now. I can't decide if the purple looks that good to leave it or not.

Also check out my bumper. Some paint shop I used to go to used the paint code on my car to mix paint for my new bumper I put on , and the silver came out completely like 3 shades off. Three paint places couldn't match it completely, except the body shop I went to to get a dent fixed. I've never messing with paint again. Too much trouble and money trying to get it right. Only professional now.

It looks ok with the purple on the wheels.

As for silver paint, it is the hardest metallic color to match...definately need to go to a quality shop to have the color match, but it will never be 100% perfect but it should be real close.

Not a fan of purple...cast aluminum would look better IMO, I've also always been partial to red...but it's really personal pref.
