^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.

I like it, super smooth casts great and it looks great. You won’t be disappointed
Re: So how is the paint holding on the 21 STEEZ LIMITED?
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.SSS wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 5:30 pmYea, i wanted to do that a few years back, but the palming side plate is plastic, so it wouldn't look too good.

This isn't going to be bare/raw/untreated aluminum...it's polished paint onto the already treated aluminum. No tarnish whatsoever.SSS wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 7:57 pmDoesn't bare aluminum tarnishes over some time?

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

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
