Black SRAM Rival cranks: Painted?

[Lewis Moon]

Are the black Rival cranks painted or anodized? There's not a lot of options out there for 180 compact cranks and I'd like to relieve any SRAM cranks I'm forced to purchase of their offending logos. :rolleyes: If the black is paint, I can't use paint stripper to take the logos off w/o stripping the whole crank.

I believe they're anodized.

Anodized black with lazer etched logos. Your best bet is probably just paint over the logos with some gloss black paint.
