It looks kinda textured. if it was black.. maybe play it off better... but such a bright color brings up all the imperfections!

in this to know what tips are to prep these calipers?
any cleaning products, process, to doing this look better?

This was done using G2 caliper paint. I sanded the calipers down as much as I could, starting at a 180 grit working my way up to a 400-600 grit. Its all in the prep work.
