Ok let’s try…!

Yeah you’d think a metal pedal pad would be slippery.  But they have surface features to give grip and are powder coated.

And… I’ve been using a pair for four months or so. Un painted aluminum. This pair had holes drilled in them for a certain amount of grip.

No slippage issue at all ( except) , wet or dry.
Had some slipperiness the other week after I had been standing in some spilled cutting fluid/coolant on the shop floor.  I got a leak in one of my cnc machines during certain conditions. It’s the tramp oil seperator. Yeah tramp oil :-)

But that fluid is slippery.

Cheers
