I just got my rings back from Jamie ( Broschro ) and they look awesome. Jamie did a great job, drop him a line if you like what you see, he's a good guy to deal with.
Here are a couple of pictures:

I hear you buddy. Do I need them? no! Do I have to have them? Heck yes!
I know that some go food shopping on the left coast with a red Lamborghini, that tops at 220 MPH ;)

Thanks Jamie, you deserve the credit also. Great job! Thanks!
Thanks Justin!
Nice!
Sal/Broschro - Those rings look FAAAN-TASTIC!! :o
Wallace - I think that's why he wanted all red reels - so the blood wouldn't show. ;D
UH OH... I need to see some of those beauties on my reels. Jamie, you will get a PM as soon as I can get to it.... well done!
Sal, I love your passion for this hobby! Keep it up, and keep passing your great ideas along. I also, love to see fellow A-team (AlanTani) members getting together to make things work... and look damn good, too!
Thanks for showing some "reel beauties",
Dom
Thanks guys! Yes Dom they look sweet, the pictures don't do these rings justice.
Sal, Sal, Sal,...excited to see what's next.
Bryan, stop giving me ideas. You're costing me money ;D.
Very, very impressive.. Me like!!!
Saweeeet job Sal.
Next we wanna see a little brother version....A 112H perhaps ????? Hint ,hint.
I've done the mini-Tank treatment to my 112H (Tiburon frame, Kolekar handle, Tani gear sleeve, double dogs etc), but no powder-coated rings yet. Got me thinking though! ;) ;D
Justin,don't spoil the ship for a ha'peth of tar. ;) ;) Lets have pics of the finished product, complete with PC rings. ;D
Sal,
Very nice !!!!

Good call Tom - like the saying too. ;)
Will snap a pic tonight.
Cheers mate, Justin
Thanks guys, I'm glad you got to see them. I might have to delete the pictures, I just realized that I used one of my wife's tablecloth ::). Oh well.
QuoteI might have to delete the pictures, I just realized that I used one of my wife's tablecloths...
Looks like the fancy Christmas one, too!
Don't worry Sal, we won't tell - promise... ;) ;D
This business of trying to keep up with Sal is stressful: He keeps coming up with new projects. ;D
I've come to the conclusion that "the reel repair hobby-business" is 'the gift that keeps on giving'.
Kind of like a pregnant cat. :o

As gleaming spotless as those rings/reels are, I wouldn't mind if they were sitting on
my tablecloth! (http://forums.snapstream.com/vb/images/smilies/wink.gif)

hi sal glad to have you back, sorry for the circumstances. once again you did fabulous work, fantastic. the rings look great, but will the powder coating scratch off if your not careful? my best to you and family. harryk
Thanks Harry! About the powder coat, Jamie (Broschro) or Dominick ( former Pescachaser ::) ) could answer your question better than I can, they really gave those a workout ....maybe they'll chime in.
Nice work
Rgds

Sal I can't talk about a workout. I use reel covers carrying the rods and reels to the boat. I also make sure they are not being banged around in the rod holders. So for the most part my reels have very little boat rash. After 8 days of fishing the Tank there are no scratches on the rings, but I did not bang them so I don't know how they will hold up. Dominick
That's the way we roll Dominick! ;D I keep all my reels padded up too, all the way to the beach! I need to have some custom covers made for my Big Senators. I wrap them up in a T-shirt and tie the sleeves together. :P
Welcome back Sal, my prayers have been with you and your family!
Sal, the bling on these reels is "the business" brother :o :o. I know you've sliped a couple of fingers through the rod clamp and wore one of these reels like a "giant ring", there pretty enough ::). Ive got to talk to the coater to find out just how durable the treatment is. My fishing friends already kid me about the condition of my gear, if I pop a reel cover off on deck and expose something they may just go wild and jump overboard from all the bling (for I'll fish the reel) :o. Nothing like mixing engineering and art, they make one hell of a combination!!! Sal, we are merely shadows of your reflection Man ;D.
You da Man,
Leo
going on two years with some of my gray powder coated Rings,on one of my tanks. I to am careful with me gear but stuff happens some times,they r holding up Awesome and I fish two to three times a month.on my phone right now so can't put up any pics.give me a few days and I will.going fishing in the morning.
Broschoro,
My hats off to you for the fantastic powder coat job, just fantastic! I'll PM you to get more details and prices.
Great work,
Leo
Old thread... Seems to me that someone could make decent money selling refinished chromed brass parts. Does anyone do this commercially?
Has anybody tried Duplicate-Color Custom Wrap spray paint? It works on chrome.

I've been wanting to try Plasti-Dip which looks pretty similar. No doubt it will work. I guess it is a bit thicker than paint, so I would look out for tolerances where a painted part gets attached to another surface fo the reel. I wonder how it will last... They use it for car rims, but it is not permanent -- peels off, which could be a plus.
Plastic dip is very thick and may play havoc with parts fitting. I question if it will bond to chrome.

Duplicolor is different?
