    looks good one thing to make it look better would be to remove the pads and take the paint off of them.

    painting the pads would be bad.

    You're supposed to have some grease or an anti squeal pad of sorts between the pad and the caliper.

    I have EBC red pads, they're red, but due to their anti squeal pads, you can hardly see the red.

    Looks good though.
