Ok here's the situation:
Picked up two Torium 30 though frame is in pretty bad shape. Cosmetically 5/10 but mechanically 9/10 so I was pretty worth it for the price I paid but no I wanna fix the frame.
Is it possible to paint it and still have a nice finish. Does anyone have or know of ways to do so? Anything would help.
The paint on it as parts where it chipped away or is bubbling. I was thinking of sanding it off smooth it out and respray it with closes matching color. Then maybe a sealer? Yes or no
The Toriums have a thin tin like plate on both end caps over Graphite??...
Factor that in...
Those covers are pretty thin and wont take much, flimsy off the reel....
I knew one guy who did an excellent job on a few reels with Automotive paint in Cans...
Even R&R'd one Steeze Low Pro he had painted Orange - burnt Orange ish... Sweet!!
I have 2 Saltist reels I have almost tried it on.... Keep us posted on results....
these guys might be able to help. http://www.reelcolors.com/

Alan, are they yours? :o
Ok well I emailed them so hopefully I can get some help. Told them about how they were and that I was trying to find an easy, effective, cheap, and still decent way to do it yourself. If anyone has any more info please post.
