not sure why you wouldn’t.
The panto: depends on the paint. I bought a black DeRosa stem once. It came back shiny except for the paint which was still there.
This Davidson had white paint in the panto
its all gone/clean
filling in panto is easy with testor’s paint. Wipe off the excess.
haven’t decided on whether to return it to black or make it silver. All my bikes are silver but I don’t own a Davidson.
this will go with a whole basket of things since there is a $40 min.
last time I did 2 stems, cranks, seat posts, handlebars and a front derailleur and they guy said I could have added more.
All the stuff I have stripped didn't get re-anodized, so the free stripping service was unavailable. But that's cool you have places to go.
Interesting that the paint survives stripping and anodizing. So you can probably use paint as a mask if you wanted to leave a pattern or logo flush to the surface, or keep a panto silver.
