So am I the only one out there that installed the factory blue pedals, and now after a few months of driving (sometimes with dirty shoes) the blue color has worn off in several areas?

I wiped them off thinking it was just dirt and the blue is gone.

Anyone else? I guess it is unaviodable.

Anyway to touch that up??

 

Anodized aluminum is not a very durable material for something like a pedal set. The grit on your shoes acts like sandpaper and just wears away the anodizing over time.

SC~

 

Just curious if others are seeing the same thing.

 

i was thinking about painting it with clear coat before i install it, what do you think? once in awhile i can throw on some waxes to help it protect against the dirt and grit...

 

I have the blue sport pedals too. Mine are a little dirty inside the holes themselves, but I have seen no wear.

Do you have a lot of driving/miles on them??

 

Here's a pic of the pedals for those wondering!

 

Maybe my shoes are dirtier or too much heel-toe?

 

if not clearcoat, i guess you just need to clean them here and there... also if your shoes are caked with dirt.. may as well clean it before driving... heres one thing, i thought those pedals are anodized.. doesnt that mean the aluminum is blue even on the inside?

 

I'll try to get some pictures....but they are NOT blue on the inside.

 

If the pedals were on the vehicle when you bought it, it should be covered by the warranty. At least that is what I remember the Mitsu literature providing in connection with dealer installed Mitsubushi accessories. Maybe ask the dealer for a replacement set. It can't hurt.

 

i dont think scratches or the usual wear and tear will be covered until warranty, even if the pedals came with the car

 

I agree with you. But if there is missing paint he might be able to claim that there is a defect in the materials that is not otherwise caused by wear and tear. I don't think he has anything to lose by trying. My 2 cents.

 

My pedals paint is coming off too. But mostly because I put the Autolock on the clutch pedal every day.

 

i got my blue pedals but i havent had time to drill through the stock pedals yet.... i'll go to the paint store and throw on a coat or two of clearcoat before i go jump in
