brake / clutch pedal finish

[Vin-tin]

I was cleaning my '29 clutch and brake pedals to get them ready to re-paint and I noticed it looked as though Ford dipped the arms in black paint. But only 2/3 of the arms were painted. The pivot end was un-painted.

Is this normally the way Ford did these?
Should I duplicate or just paint everything black?

I have a NOS VE-28 clutch pedal,...and it's dipped, except for the
lower portion(maybe 2"-3")....

Thanks DJ. I guess mine's original then.
Do most guys just paint everything black?
I didn't see anything in the JS about it.

I figure that they were probably mostly done as said in post # 2 and would have mostly been gloss black. I now just spray mine semi gloss-satin black like the running gear and they better match the black floor mats in my standard model A's . May lose judging points but I'm not in to that sort of thing.

Thanks Purdy. I'm not really into the judging scene either. I just figured if i'm gonna take the time to fix my "baby" up, I may as well do it right the first time. I'd like it to look correct for the year. I was planning on using Hirsch's semi gloss chassis paint on the these, and also the frame and running gear.
