restoring dx pedals . . . ?

(1/3) > >>

theRuler:
i got some old shimano dx pedals, and they are pretty good but the ends are a little gouged (around the end caps)

now i got some new end caps sorted, but how do i "polish out" the gouges?

just file them?

i intend to paint the pedals black.

gt0733:
i've thought about this for the ones i have and i think a really light paper on a belt sander may work, followed by a coarse buff wheel, then undercoated with an etch primer before paint. i also found when stripping mine that they are painted and not ano'd.
where did you get your caps from?

Bigplinky:
I use wet and dry of various grades on a sanding block (helps keep or restore the flat surfaces) and then polish, not an original finish (as this is slightly dimpled) but good enough for me.

oberonspacefruit:
i filed mine, them wet and dry on a block. gives you just the right shape.

Zippy:
Are DX's alloy or steel as I was going to get a set polished then annod?
