Dark gray Valve 1.0's

[Lopaka KaMars]

Aloha OF. Big shout-out for these pairs goes out to @scrodo for having (and selling) two of his dark gray Valve 1.0's. Since I have now acquired a second Ducati, I needed the other two, one of which is the JPM Valve. That is a pair I haven't owned before, so thank you very much bro for parting with it. Both Valves are in great condition. Right now the only Valve 1.0 I don't have present is the black with polarized black lens. Though I'm sure I have a couple of beat up polarized black lenses from beater pairs that I fixed up. Does that count still?

The two are in the first row.

It's a black frame with a cleared lug. You could paint that lug with some translucent paint and make it look like these.

OMG
How do you do that ? Did you use airbrush ?

I use Tamiya translucent spray paints and they have a bunch of different colors available. You can even order them on ebay. As long as your country doesn't have import restrictions. I get mine from a hobby shop here on this island.

Not sure if this is a necessary step. But I spray high gloss clear on afterwards to protect the color and give it that high shine.

Maybe now you'll want to keep your pair? Here's a black frame with blue lugs and DWP lenses.

Or go all in.
