 Just help me out by giving me some thoughts on how it would look.  Thanks guys

Umm i dont think it has any oil in it, but before i sprayed them I sanded them down pretty well, and wiped all the bits of sanded stuff off... it turned out pretty well though.. I just need to get my pads replaced, the paint didnt quite get into the corner of the caliper and pad well.. oh well
