I've got $100 that says it's been reprinted... Bossarea, this is one for you

UPDATE: Oh, hey I just noticed it is WHITE! I know exactly what these should look like - I've just repainted the housing of one of mine. It should be a white base-coat with a light metallic pearl top-coat. I think I can even see where the paint has run into the edge of the rubber footpad.

This is a respray and restencil for sure.

Haha, that thing has been repainted for sure.
He's done a fairly good job but there's no way that pedal came out of the factory that way.

I thought it was pretty obviously a respray. It's so infuriating when people sell cosmetically ruined gear as having "mojo" or just as being rare or a one off.

Polish a turd, it's still a turd

Pretty good job on that DD-3 though, that could seriously fool some lesser mortals.
