Virgo's
Awhile back I had posted how I had refurbished two sets of Virgo's, one set Duplicolor silver, the other Duplicolor black, yet I had not posted pics (shame shame, I know). I also cleaned up the calipers with Duplicolor red.
Here's an update:

I meant to add the following:
The red calipers have 3 coats and hold up rock solid.
The black Virgo's have 6 coats and have held up much better than the silver set.
The silver Virgo's have 4 coats of paint, and two of clear (which may have caused the oxidation issue after some miles were put on them).
The black's have no clear coat on them. When I tried a final coat of clear over the black, it subdued the depth of the color and slightly "yellowed" the finish....GAG....that's why I went with 6 coats of color and let it be...if I re-shoot the silver's next time, I'll do them the same way...
