Top Coat for Painting Fuji Reel Seats

Hello All-

I am painting some Fuji ECS and NPS reel seats. Prepping, priming and painting are no problem - they look fantastic. What I am concerned about is finishing.

Does anybody who has done this have any suggestions for a very durable low build clear high-gloss top coat? A very thin sprayable finish would be preferable. Thanks in advance for your help.

Bill

Bill,
Try either Varithane or Dephthane spray urethane. Very hard. Very clear.

I wash them, then sand any defects out. Clean with a cloth or paper towel. Spray paint, just till covered. Then coat with a thin coat of permagloss. Looks great.

How do the threads hold up after a reel is put on/off a few times?? Does the locking part of the seat scrape the paint in the threads??

Any painted object will wear when you rub it over and over again. The permagloss is the hardest i know of. They do wear well

I agree with Bill, perma-gloss.
