Default Painted the calipers on my GSR

Sup folks. Painted them a week ago, but I just washed the car so my friend and I took some pics. Wanted to go with that OEM Metal look. (like a brand new bolt on your control arms or something). Two layers of aluminum and then a light layer of anodized gold that we eyeballed.

I think my wheels looked pretty good in the pic but in real life they are pretty bad :P Also I know I need a drop

Unique, but i dont think theres enough contrast between the gold and the silver on the car.

I was aiming for more contrast between the calipers and the wheels.

I think if you painted the calipers to match the car, then it would look a lot better.
