I have no affiliation with accurate , but I do know metal . They would have to completely disassemble every part off that reel , chemically strip the body ,re anodize and reassemble the reel . So I'm going to guess it's a solid NO .

That is not possible. The only way to get a camo colored reel would be to place an order through a dealer. Another is that the way the anodizing process works the whole reel would have to be stripped and polished before any anodizing could be done. Stripping can cause tolerances to be altered.

You're best bet for camo is to hydro dip. Be mindful of mating surfaces, threaded screw holes, and any other tolerance sensitive areas.

Sell them and buy the camo versions. Unless you could find someone with camo who’d trade you.

Unfortunately stripping reels that are already anodized often takes the reels out of tolerance and they will not go back together the same. I would agree sell them and buy the ones you want.

You are correct, thank you.

Tons of videos online. It's basically water transfer printing. You dunk an object into a film floating on water. The film can be as simple as spraypaint or an image printed on hydrographic film. The options are many.
