im gunna start doing things i can reverse, and then if i like it work on things like the door handles, im leaning more towards just doing the cross hairs of the grill green and i was pondering lime green bed stripes and since im a wee bit irish (osullivan) putting a shamrock or something in the center instead of the usual "hemi" or "dodge"

Did you spray or brush the calipers? Did you find caliper paint that color or are you using something else? Just wondering if you have remove the calipers to paint them or if you can just clean them up and brush the paint on...

i used a wire brush and then sand paper and then cleaned them off i had to use a spray because they dont make an actual caliper paint in that color i could find, so i used an engine enamel and just taped everything off while it was on the car
