On the subject of black DC parts I've seen painted and anno black on levers and a caliper I had a while back was painted black (all were defo original finishes). I think DC started painting black in the later years of production, that's my guess anyway.

Might go down the painted route then, lot less f'ing around...but in years to come, when MX's are even rarer, I'm sure re-riveting them might become viable...

We shall see...

Thanks for all the info, everyone :LolLolLolLol:

i have painted some and have also had some powder coated. the powder option turned out pants as it is to thick and makes them look rounded and you lookse some of the sharpness of the 'MX' logo. Which leads me onto my next problem. How the hell do you paint the little 'MX' logo without making a pigs ear of it. I have tried 5 different ways and none look right or have made a mess of them and had to strip, paint and try again?

cheers

I painted a dc seat clamp pink BITD...

to fill in the MX , i simply painted with a fine brush, then used my finger to carefully wipe away all the smudges. Looked quite good, but unfortunately i stripped the enamel paint off to return it back to blue, so cant show pics...
