They look good, what kinda paint did you use?

how much of the overspray can you see when the wheel is back on?

I use VHT Brake Caliper, Drum & Rotor Spray Paint. SP - 731 Racing Red, You can't see any overspray once you drive the car and all the paint on the rotor gets burned off. So alls you see is the paint on the caliper.

I devoteda bout 10-13 hours of my time into making sure I did the job right and the materials costed me about 21$. I bought a wax / grease (brake caliper cleaner) to make sure the coat of paints i put on would be gripping the paint nicley. and then i newspapered it n then in all it costed me around 21$ just had 2 pay for the products.

Good job trying doing it on your own But you seem to overspray it a bit too much and got into the rotors (it's not really a good thing!)
I suggest to those who plan on painting their Brake Calipers, you can get brand that uses a brush rather than spray. It's easier to do and works better. If you need tips, pm me. I did mine awhile ago
