Shimano DX Pedals restoration advice

Kelly:
I THINK  they were either spray painted very thinly or indeed anodized as I was looking for black ones for some time and asked quite a few people and they said anodized. I had some silver ones powdercoated and the paint was way too thick for me to sand down the lettering to silver. Biagio has NOS black ones I think, ask him..

oberonspacefruit:
if its indented you can rub a good quality oil based pastel over it, wipe it off carefuly which leaves it in the nicks.....

try a pad for the proud ones.....maybe a sanding block tightly wrapped with cotton dabbed in pain. remove excess, amd dab away..

mivvi:
Thanks for the info Kelly and Obe. I might have a word with the powder coaters, they must be able to adjust the thickness of paint. I don't really want to bother Biagio as I don't buy anything off him. Obe, on the advise you gave, are these methods you have tried? If so I could be interested in some more info if you don't mind. Thanks all!  :D

oberonspacefruit:
i have tried it on indented things before,like dice,and gear diagrams on gear knobs....worked fine...

mivvi:
Cool, will give it a go then. If it turns out well, I will get some pics up.  :D
