If you prep it right, I'm sure any paint will work. It's the top coat I would be concerned most about. I've done reels with Devcon 2 Ton epoxy topcoat that turned out pretty good, but you need a rotisserie to get an even coat. It also builds up pretty thick which might not work with a compact baitcaster. Did my Abu C4 and it worked fine though.

 

BTW, I used regular latex based airbrush paints... I think Createx.
