I'm refinishing some virgos for my 740. (don't give me the whole 740's with ABS can't run virgos talk, because I know. I don't have ABS either:-D) Anyway, I can't decide. My car is a White 744 with a black stripes (down the sides). I'm considering doing this to the wheels, and then blacking out the trim.

I'm thinking of doing this.

Or should I go regular silver.

Or reverse it, and be black with silver accents?

Silver with black, voted, but lose the turbo badge, it'll look silly. :-P

Definitely a fan of the two-tone idea! I just bought a set of Virgos that need refinishing. Planning on doing a two-tone scheme on them like the Virgo pictured below, in an aluminum/titanium silver with satin black accents.

I used fairy dust :rofl:

Actually I just scrubbed the hell out of them with paint thinner, and One of those green scrubbing pads. Then i sanded them and jb welded the curb rash. Primered, sanded, And I used metallic silver to paint them.
