Emeraldas colossal paint issues

[fisho_1990]

Hi all,

I have an Emeraldas colossal, have owned the reel for around one and a half to two years and always cared for the reel meticulously. Absolutely top reel apart from one thing - the paint on the body of the reel is coming off.. So much so that if I am to run my fingernail along it the paint will come off leaving a bare patch on the reel and black paint under my fingernail ..

I'm not sure why this is happening and I am curious if anyone else who owns an Emeraldas colossal ( or any other daiwa with a similar paint for that matter ) has experienced this??

I am considering having the reel re-painted professionally ( original emeraldas paint scheme ).
Sure has been a while since I have been on here, glad to be back .
