Poor wrist movement would be the only thing, but you've got plenty of experience there Mark so can't really see a problem  :LolLolLolLol:

On a serious note, just getting the colour to match really, it's not a metallic gold on the DX's from what I can remember  :daumenhoch:

I think I remember the post from quite a while back, was it a silver based paint he started with and  clear blue glass paint?


And Marty....sssh! You know I'm sensative about people knowing about my flagpole battering.......my keyboards in braile btw. Move on...back to dx resto....

gold paint is usually very poor in my experience.

yellow glass paint may look gold over a polished alloy pedal though....
