Freshen up the wifes Alphas itos.

Post by Lucky1 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:37 pm

After fishing with my wife, she mentioned how much she enjoyed fishing with the Alphas ito reels. They seemed to fit her hands the best. After picking up a few I decided to save the front and side plates and get a few sets of Sol plates in order to paint them up for her. I didnt do anything fancy just a white basecoat with a silver D and finished up with a few thin coats of clear. Shes happy and I can save the the Ito stuff for when they go up for sale. What do ya think?

Wow, those look really nice!
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.

Nice reels!! Love the logo....hmmm...wonder what they would look like with the logo orange instead of silver. =P~

Unlike some other members on this board, I am not open to your proposals. =;

Like everyone already said, liking the white and the logo.

You're lucky to have a companion that is into the same hobby as you and not one that nag about it.

Awesome work.
