Trimmed Spinning Reel

Nice work! You might win by default lol.   What kind of paint/finish works on a reel?  I should spruce up some of my old ones too.

My thoughts as well... there are some really cool custom rods on here though.  I might try one at some point.  I don't have any experience with painting reels, so this is sort of a test.  I used airbrush paints and a clear coat over them.  I'm curious to see how the paint holds up!
