Hello

could someone  lead me in the right direction please ?

I am looking for someone to paint my Silver Shimano Metaniums . 
I would like to have them painted matte black or semi w/very little gloss.

One solid color.

Can you recommend someone?

 

Know anyone that paints at a body shop? Your going to want to break the reel down completely first though and remove all the parts and tape it up. 

I was looking for more of a specialty shop... There are guys that specifically paint reels.

Most do crazy custom work... This would just be one color so I’m thinking that it would be easier for them to do ?

Too bad, I know a guy that only do Daiwa not shimano. This is a thing for those Daiwa fanboys anyway, not so much with Shimano. 

?? get SLX and you have matted black shimano ??

No matter what are you gonna do with shimano, please don’t do this. This curado 70 MGL will never look the same.

It needs to be done by someone that knows what they're doing specifically with reels. A precision machined casting cant just be painted. There are many fitment issues that need to be understood beforehand.

Bassfishingaddiction did my steez, but their site is down now. 

I had a Daiwa SV103XS cerakoted white with black accents. Most gun shops can do reels. I picked a place that was cheap but local. It was their first reel. Be very specific about what should and should not be painted. Look around though. Some people that do reels specifically charge a lot for it. I mean more than what the reel is worth.

Message "@rembrandtreels" on Instagram. He isn't cheap but his work is impeccable. For high quality, non rattlecan work, you're going to be paying a premium. 

Oh excellent! Thanks for the lead ..?

Wow !!! This is EXACTLY The answer !!!

He actually has examples of Metanium’s done ... Thanks so much ???

Do you think chipping will still be an issue if the base paint is still on the reel?

That’s a great question... gonna try and find out
