Abstract
Parts inexpensively coated that yet are difficult to mar. The reel body of a double bearing reel is given as an example of a part superficially coated in accordance with the invention. It includes a metallic base portion , an oxide film layer , a substrate paint film layer , and a finishing paint film layer . The finishing paint film layer is formed by the application of a self-mending paint material. Forming the paint film layer on the surface of the reel body by applying a self-mending paint material by the self-mending function of the paint material thus restores scratched portions if the surface is damaged due to scratching or the like. Therefore, scratches due to injuries tend not to remain on the coated part and as a result, scratches are unlikely to damage the surface of the body of the part. Moreover, forming the layer by applying a paint material facilitates low cost production.
