painting reel seat threads

I am going to paint some fuji reel seats. I think Krylon Fusion is going to be my best best from what I have read and tried. My only real concern is how durable it is on the threaded portion of the seat barrel. Is the paint going to wear and peel after a few uses of the locking nut? I thought about coating the entire job with permagloss or similar but wonder if the added thickness of paint and clear coat would change the fit of the nut on the barrel. Anybody that paints their seats have a better idea?

On "my" rods...

I would go no foregrip, tighten the seat down on the intended reel, trim the threads off flush, and then paint everything BUT the threads.

But that's just "me".

LoL

I agree with Jay, when I paint seats that is what I do.
Have fun.
