Custom Painted Pixzilla..

Post by Nitroman77 » Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:02 am

My first attempt at painting a reel..
It started out as an AIry Red pixy that had some marks on it and was pretty beat up..
I lightly sanded the frame to get the scratches out as you can see them on the top unpainted part..
Then shot a BLK pearl base with a blue Pearl Over coat as it blended in pretty well..
its now sitting on my Champ 703 for senkos and Flukes..

Looks real good Trey. Are you going to shoot some clear over the paint to protect the finish?
