Are Gold DX's painted or anodyzed ?

Just wondering what to use to remove the current gold finish

HUTCHMAN:
painted,as i understand.

brummie:
 ::) x2 sure they be painted. i think there was a thread about somebody melting a pair in ovenpride a whiles back thinking they were anno  ???

adeshere:
I got a pair of DX's today with the original endcaps in them.

Needed to remove them so i could replae the bearings.

I tried to get some knackered ones out from another set and they just crumbled, as the plastic had jsut gone hard and cracked.


My tip .. warm the pedals up with a blow torch, just to warm the plastic end caps up to make them more supple.

You can then carefully prise them out.  :-)
