Title: ANti-corrosion paint for external reel parts?
Post by: Joel.B on September 02, 2012, 04:42:24 PM
Is there a paint I can spray on the bars/frame/seat on an old 113?

It's cheaper to buy replacement part. Poweder coating is good, but not cheap, it will still get chipped. Re-chroming is just too expensive.

OK Joel here is the deal: If you purchase the parts new, they will set you back @ $40.
Here is what I could do for you,: I could send you the stand and rod clamp, all you need to add are the frame posts that Tom ( Irish Jigger ) mentioned above. The cost to me would be $0, you just pay for shipping costs.
The other option is for me to send you the gold narrow frame to match your JVariance plates, this way you'll have 2 reels. You could use your black frame on the old reel and custmize the gold one.I would need $30 for that gold frame though. Just let me know.

I haven't completed it yet, but I have my Grandfather's old Diawa spinner that will have some parts gun-coted. I've used it a lot on guns and it resists every solvent and lube I've tried, and it holds up well. Never submerged a rifle in salt water though, I'm in the Navy just not a SEAL!!
