[QUOTE="Mattman, post: 522, member: 23"] It's a Matagi seat. Already painted. The paint is durable. Automotive quality. I've considered trying to paint my own seats. I've got quite a bit of experience with paints. Its finding a source to buy such small quanities of paint that is the real bugger. The Matagi stuff is nice, but a giant pain in the butt. Those seats are only stocked in one size. And its a pretty large size. Luckily on this rod, the seat was right near the butt of a very large diameter blank and fit nicely. On most rods, they don't. So then the options become; Order a custom size and wait 4 months for it. Or, build the handle on a piece of woven tubing and then mount that to the blank. [/QUOTE]
