Great looking reel man!

[The JAY]

Very nice work... I do custom airbrush painting on bikes, cars, and anything else that will stand still long enough, even my dishwasher... Never thought to do a reel. Is it automotive grade paint? Clear? etc? Thanks for showing....

[mike rousseau]

i gotta ask

 

how much did it cost for the reel and the custom work?

[cynmar]

I must be sooooooo cheap because if I had reels like that they'd never see the light of day. They'd be sitting on a pedestal by my desk so clients could ooohhhhaahhhhh at them.

[davey buoy]

I wonder if you could lower it?. lol.,sweet looking for sure!!!

[EC1]

Too bad you're left handed - When you get bored of your 2012 reels and get reels for 2013, I would have taken some of them from you! lol.

 

Super nice reels btw.

any tool cheaper than the Boca pliers work on removing the spool pin? I used reg pliers on my alpha but dont want to chance damaging the spool on my steez, dont want to spend $40 for changing bearings on one reel!

 

Nice reel btw, i sold my tdz, regret it

[ChrisK]

Now that there is just sick......Nice job !

both tools work great..

 

you can always do the hammer punch but you risk damaging things

[Dan668]

Thanks, looks like ill be purchasing the boca

[krixxer]

automotive paint, primer, paint, paint, clean coat

 

Nice work but why the auto paint???

 

 

this stuff should be done using a single stage polyurethane over epoxy.

 

 

best yet, anodize all the AL bits before the primer.

 

 

 

. . . after the season I'll make a step by step from stripping to anodizing to paint.

Might even mill out some knobs .....

 

where do you get all them shiny bits? can you post a few links where I could get some ideas?

[snagged]

droooooooooooooool

[JoshS]

Wow. You should see my reels paint...

 

That's a pretty reel if it's your thing. Looks good.
