Option Two is to remove the old paint (re-surfacing was your term). And new paint often doesn't stick well on old paint without serious surface preparation.
Unless you carefully fill the chipped spots, new paint over an old surface will be lipstick on a pig. But the original paint is still, partially, there. If you are looking to repaint, Option One is to simply clean up the reel and repaint. Or watch for a new-old-stock reel on eBay and pay the money.
Do you want a 'brand new just like the factory' appearance? Prepare to put in lots of hand work.Do you really hate looking at chipped paint? Then paint it for sure.Are you worried about corrosion due to the lack of paint? That's not a problem except in salt water.Do you want it to fish better? Painting will not change the fishing function one bit.Do you want to retain the 'value' of the reel? Don't repaint it if it is an older Medalist.In my view, a decision to repaint depends the desired outcome. Breaking them down and polishing the brightwork is easy enough but before I go out, buy a spray can of Rustoleum flat black, and do something I'll really regret, any advice on how best to resurface/recoat these reels?To start, it is your reel.
