Can you powder coat a graphite reel? What will the 400 degree cook time do to the graphite? Thanks for any help. Joey
anybody?
I believe that graphite, although can sustain high temperatures, I'm not so sure of the bonding agent. It appears that the bonding agent is a thermoset material, which means it gets hard by heating. If it is heated too much or for long periods of time, the material gets brittle. Therefore, I would not recommend it.

Why would you? ::)
I hate graphite on reels.....just my opinion ;)
I have been checking out Gunkote. Its a 2 part type of paint used on guns. Durable and solvent resistent. I have a couple of old beater reels I also would like to "paint"
Might try automotive touch up paint in a spray can. When I worked as a groundskeeper and had to remove grafitti this stuff was about ten times harder to remove from any surface than regular spray paint.
