^good to hear. A bit interested in getting one, but after the paint on the Z2020 and old limited edition Steezes, i am paranoid about their paints jobs that flake of by themselves.

On the Z2020, just take a good car polish, a micro fiber cloth, put in an hour of elbow grease and buff it into a "liquid Z".

Yea, i wanted to do that a few years back, but the palming side plate is plastic, so it wouldn't look too good. If it was an easy to find, i would just send it to be custom painted or something, since the original paint is a complete mess on mine.

Actually it comes out matching very well on the entire reel. I did my first Z2020H in the first month I purchased it from Brooklyn Bill in 2010...still looks the same as when I did it...it looks like a polished liquid gunmetal color.

Doesn't bare aluminum tarnishes over some time? My alphas itos sure do after a season of use.

This isn't going to be bare/raw/untreated aluminum...it's polished paint onto the already treated aluminum. No tarnish whatsoever.

I otherwise haven't taken the time to figure another platform for posting pics since Photobucket started holding pics for ransom.
