Craig, re your paintwork. I was quoted $350.00 today for "wet spray paint" hammertone (professionally painted), rather than powdercoat as there are more green colour options available. This includes reel, catcher & all components in your pics, plus outer/ inner clutch cone, clutch handle & bottom blade holder. How does that compare to your quotations for similar work thus far? I have used this fellow before & his work is top notch.
Cheers Ross
