Title: Custom Paint Sideplates DIY?
Post by: f15h1n6 on March 18, 2014, 02:20:56 PM

I want to give an ABU 5500c3 to a female friend. She loves hot pink and blue so I was wondering if anyone has gone through a custom paint job for the side plates? I can finally disassemble the whole reel so Im not worried about that. Please let me know if there is a way. Thanks

There is a posting here somewhere that they painted the sideplates...sorry I just cannot find it. But it can be done. I think powder coating would be better though.

Thanks guys! I will also pm the guy who works on it. It doesn't seem easy and appears to require some tools I don't have.
