I miss when daiwa make special color two tones on Alphas reel. I regrets sold some of the reels (SV105 and Sol). I’ve been waiting for new Alphas SV TW to come out with special color beside those BFS that I don’t need. Any new Daiwa (alphas frame) come out base off Tatula TW 80 (spool with shaft). I have no chance off making cool color reel from 3 Alphas that I have. I went with cheaper route with salamandura/Tatula, what do you think.

Time to get into air brush painting. Or hydro dipping. Take your customization to the next level!

I’m wondering myself how hydro dipping gonna stand up with every day used? I know a guy that has his reels custom paint and that cost quite a lot not including other SLP WORKS color parts that could cost as much as one reel.
I’m cheap man even use some cheap stuffs on my reels. Should have stay with SHIMANO where I don’t care much about color lol.

I’ve rattle canned old tesbassing reels without any major prep work. Held up good pushing through the brush
