    if you can do it to a 302.... why not a 706? ruined is the same either way ....but looking good....I was going to powder paint one (706z) to clean up a lot of boat rash, just haven't yet....it still catches fish just the same....functional is all I need and pretty, well I do like the looks of some things....but to drill holes..... I would never go there.
    good luck and please post pictures when done

    I had Larry refinish a Penn 8500SS spinner I found wedged into a jetty, outside it was in pretty rough condition, but interior was fine.
    Anyways, Larry took the reel stripped it completely down and refinished/refurbished it inside and out, and it looked pretty darn good.

    Don't know if he powder coats, but as Fin said, he can probably direct to a good source.
