i was going to but after it dried i did the 'ol scratch test and its stuck pretty darn good. besides - masking off an entire reel is a pain once....

i'll grab a pic when i get home.

nope, just roughed it up w/ some 400 grit sand paper and had at it. it is a composite shell and aluminum frame.... so the composite shouldn't need any primer. the aluminum still had paint on it so i didn't worry about priming that.

i just figured it couldn't come out looking any worse than it did so hey why not!
