Anyone know any companies that paint your reels? I have some original Japanese blue Emblem X I would like painted black if possible?

Cheers.......

I have a set of these - let me know how you get on please - interested to know whether you're 'de-chroming' the chrome bits! Cheers

I've just taken my basias in to be serviced and painted upto 4 weeks and £150/£160 a reel including full service,now when I took them in on Tuesday I got lost (they are fairly local to me) but they were really helpful friendly people oh and I paid a £100 deposit to secure a spot but they actually went in a week earlier.
Can't wait to get them back and may do a review in the review section at some point and will post some pictures on here if possible

I'm looking forward to getting them back they are going to look really good.
I've had parts red and new decals on them and a new handle on with my football team badge on there as well they will look unique
I think I've chosen a nice combination of red and black and they even suggested the bake arm will be redone to make it look like new

I had a larger line clip done in red,new carbon handle with red end caps,a silver union jack and a bit of red detailing on the opposite side of the reel.They did a superb job and very fast turn around time

That's good to hear I was told 4 weeks but they are being serviced as well I've even had a black line clip out on to the red spool and the QD engraved on top of spool will be red and the holes On the spool will be black against the red and the holes on top of the dpool(where you loosen the spool will be red against the black.
I think this will make them stand out
