Need an opinion from someone who's familiar with the red Quick Juniors.  Do you think this is a repaint? This reel has been on ebay for quite a while. Actually it's a Herter's 109 which are the same reels.

Yes, Chester, that is clearly obvious. There's a speck of red on the tag, over spray on the bail and the bail fitting is painted rather than chrome plated. Plus, the red shade is wrong. 
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

I was almost positive this wasn't the original paint.  It's too glossy, wrong color, and as you mentioned the bail fitting is painted.
