How did you do the body seems? I used to do a lot of Gundam/Evangelion/Patlabor model kits and I used to use a fine tipped sharpy but I found it caused problems from time to time.

Looks good, but it needs some orange calipers.

a little too orange. you should use a transparent paint on top of it with the metal flake.

those look more like a solid paint color than a metallic, like the Brembos is all.
