I've seen Curado's that have been disassembled, painted and reassembled. They looked great when the painter took the time to do them.

I'd think any paint a modeler would use would work. The pieces on a Curado that get painted are plastic, so modelers paint and an airgun would get the best results.

I have had a couple of my reels air brushed by a buddy of mine. He does motor cycle and Hockey helments Just use a good clear coat to hold it all together.

Look for a powder coater in you area it
will not cost you much and it will last
a long time. Do the prep work yourself.
