Don't put too much fret on the peeling. I just sand mine down and repaint them. Spoons look great again. Usually will do this once a year. It also give me a chance to play around with the colors. I have one I painted white then hit it with some blue and it has out fished the plain solid colored ones. Also did a green and white one which has performed well too. Most of my spoons are over 5 years old. Other than loosing an weight once in a while, which is probably my fault for not checking them for tightness more often. I cant say enough about Maja spoons. They almost always produce.
