Decided to try painting a reel again. This was a gold quantum accurist before I started. Sorry for the horrible pic’s. Sun’s gone and had to take them on the desk with a light bulb. Tried to stick with something simple. After tearing the whole reel apart (I mean every spring,screw, c-clip, etc) I thought I was going to have to ship part’s to a reel repair shop for some serious help! I got it back together ok (with no spare parts,lol) and it look’s really awesome! Here’s some pictures….

This planet is covered with men who demand that he who spends time fishing shall show returns in fish.

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.

That looks great! I would love to get a reel painted but I don’t feel comfortable taking them completely apart.

Just a question, how did you get the reel handle side plate off your accurist?? I can’t figure out how to get mine off without hacking it up too much. Oh and nice paint job.

take off the handle. then the other side of the reel. I think there’s 3 screw’s on the magnet’s side. Remove them. Then take out the 3 screw’s that hold the plate on, Should come right off. Make sure you open it with the handle shaft pointing up or half the crap will fall out…

Thanks b75nweav, you just saved me a lot of trouble, it worked the first time I did it.
