Hey Y'all,
I am in need of a blue trigger reel seat with the rod cutout of 0.433 in. Merrick handles Fuji but I have been told that they don't carry it in this size. Anybody got any other suggestions? I am tempted to try to permagloss paint one or marble one. Re: blue reel seat

Amtack makes ones with anodized blue bands, but its also easy to paint one. Tinted permagloss or spray paint with permagloss over it. You can get "anodizing" spray paint in blue metallic to color silver bands too. Plastic duplicolor spray paint sounds great (I haven't personally used it though) Re: blue reel seat

I have the Amtak with the blue band but this customer wants a completely blue reel seat. I've tried Krylon on one and it is OK but I want more of a glossy look, I'm in the process of testing tinted permagloss but I don't know how well it will stick or how it will hold up in the long run.

The main thing I find is to sand the threads down a little so any paint and clear does not make the nut fit real tight. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
