   I just went thru and repainted some reels that needed a little love .     I don`t mind worn down paint look ,but when it bubbles up with a salt deposit under it , time for paint .    I am not to fond of the flat paint that was used in this series .     I find it a little gummy at times and easily scratches with a  finger nail at times also .
   I have a 331n that need paint so it was added to the paint line .
   I heat up the castings before paint to degass them and bake the paint for a hour or two after , and then clear coat them .

Beautiful job.  Can I ask you what paint type that you used and how many coats applied?

I have a 220, 221 and 331 needing a paint job.

Thanks

 For those reel I would use  VHT  Wrinkle plus .    I can spray one good coat when the casting is warm , and in less then 2 minutes                                              
 I know how the finished look will be .  
   The reels i just did have some in gloss black and some in wrinkle paint .   I feel that the wrinkle paint is more durable than the gloss paint .
   I will know in a little while for sure .
    A couple of past threads .
