No Shimano DX were always painted :) . had a couple NOS boxed pairs
I believe this was because the bodies are alloy and the pins are steel :)

Mine are painted now too ! A little experiment, does anyone have any 9/16 hubs or will the hubs swap pver from say some victor dx pedals if i managed to get hold of some of these ?????

Leave them, they look like era correct dx's at the minute - paint/powder them and they look wrong!
Christ I would never have said that a few year ago... :LolLolLolLol:
You mean spindles dude...
BMX1973:
If you are going to use them on a rider, I would definitely leave them as they are :daumenhoch:
hunterdubber:
Just to confirm to everyone about whether raw or painted is right , for silver DX pedals . ::)
When DX first came out you could only get them in Red , Blue, Gold or Silver ( which I remember being raw ). In 83 I got some from Sale cycles in Manchester , when I actually ordered blue :-\
Then by around 1984 they introduced Black and a Silver painted version ( bright satin)
as pictured in this advert :)
