Have seen a few offerings for painted Fuji reel seats, anyone know where you can purchase a painted reel seat. Rather be able to use paypal to purchase.

We can Special Order them for you from Matagi.

Jay,

If you want a blue painted one, I bought one at the rod show for a musky rod and the 16mm is too small, if you'd like it, email me and we'll work something out.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious!

Mike that blue one you posted up on FB is getting some attention many fell in love with it including myself

Why not paint your own.

Hi Jim,

Could you use Plasti-Kote to paint a rod blank, and then finish with permagloss?

Thanks,

Richard

Why use PG? The materials I have outlined work GREAT on blanks and I have painted plenty of them in such a fashion. Just take your time and don't try to "paint it all" at once. A few light coats will give a thinner coat AND better coverage without runs and streaks. The application is key for both colorant and sealant.

Hi Jim,

Just to clarify, are you saying that Plasti-kote doesn't need a top sealer/gloss application.

I have a customer I am doing a pink rod for, and they want it in high gloss!

Is it strong enough to resist some scratching against foliage and rocks.


Thanks again,

Richard
