ACS Stoker Pedals - what would you do with these? (pictures)

<< < (2/4) > >>

punkdSICO:
Ah, I did not consider chrome.  I think chrome is much thinner than powder so the ACS logo should be maintained nicely..

Would there be any further prep required or, is the current grainy sandstone finish okay for chrome?  I would guess that because chrome is so thin, the graininess would not work with chrome??

I cant afford chrome until I get another job but maybe I can just ride them as the are until I can afford it..

Good suggestions!!

Chrome on alloy is not always very good, how did they come originally, I would always go with how they were if possible.

I quite like them raw too  :coolsmiley:

i remember a stoker stem i had bitd that i thought was anno'd but it had
a tough plastic type coating on it that came off with a sharp knife.dunno
if the pedals were the same.

Redline:
They would need to be highly polished prior to getting them chrome plated so you would run into the same problems regarding losing detail on them etc.  :(

If it were me I would give them a light polish then finish them with some of that "glass paint" that someone on here used on a pair of Shimano DX pedals  :daumenhoch:

sid1972:
have these been blasted?

you could polish them after a light wet and dry - use a drimmel with a small polishing pad and some good quality polish. They will not be a mirror finish but a nice, clean alloy look which would not look out of place on any build.  ;)
