shimano dx pedal dilema ??

(1/4) > >>

Ged:
ok so ive restored a pair of DX pedals for my build

stripped the paint and got rid of the scratch damage and repaired the pins

its just the finnish do i leave them bare alloy

or powder coat them fine silver

or have them chromed  mmmm

just thought id ask what you guys think ??

Ged:
here is a few pics of what ive been up to


as i got them

same pedal

bare metal finnish

closer

i like the bare metal finnish but i think it lacks something

picked these up the make a decent pair

they are not to bad nick but these have been stripped back to bare alloy
now
just pondering the finnish ..what do you guys think

Gnarlyscoots:
Don't powder them buddy, spray paint them. They look better that way and closer to the original finish  :daumenhoch:

They did silver but not chrome DX pedals , sprayed satin silver ( a light sheen ,not matt)  ;)

I think they did SX in chrome though  :)

Rabdul06:
I just did the same thing. Cleaned up an old pair of black DX. Decided to spray them with primer then blue Dupli-Color Metalcast. I'll get some photos and post them up.

 Came out really well though the paint doesn't hide anything! I had a few problems trying to rough the ends back up after i'd sorted the scratches out aswell. The trick is to make sure ALL the old paint is off and use the primer/etcher. Not sure about chroming them.
