bigtimfish Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Ok, I have a Daiwa Megaforce I am willing to sacrifice and practice on. It has plastic side plates. I want to paint it simple glossy black. I don't have an airbrush. So can anyone please recommend a good can of spray paint and clear coating.. Any other tips will be helpful. Like how many coats of paint and how many coats of clear.Thanks in advance. Quote
BobP Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I tried it once on an all metal reel with rattle cans of Duplicolor auto paint and clearcoat. Looked great! For about a month, then it began to get scratches and chips. I don't think anything replaces a factory finish. Were I to do it again, I'd go with a catalyzed 2 part auto clearcoat to get some durability. I sanded to clean metal, used an auto primer, 2 light coats of paint, 2 light coats of clear. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted December 3, 2009 Super User Posted December 3, 2009 That's great info. I have two older Citicas apart that I wanted to paint. Going to give it a try. Quote
