It does look good. But why caliper paint?? You coulda just got duplicolor or whatever to match your paint code.

 

Caliper paint has to get pretty hot a few times though heat cycles until it cures. I wont be suprised if it starts chipping off shortly down the road.

Actually, Olds painted that panel body color on LQ1 (DOHC) cars.

 

Makes them fairly easy to spot from the rear.
