I want to start my first rod, but can not find the color blank i want my rod to be. Can the blanks be painted? What kind of paint should i use?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Neil

What color are you looking for? I'm allways suprised with what the members can find for others on here. Post up what color, type etc and you might get the info you are looking for.

Thanks Jason,
I want to use a yellowish/gold color. similar to The Eagle Claw rods at the stores. Also want to use a lt.blue or med. blue thread for the wraps

Gary Fore: Have you done a search on the subject? I haven't painted a blank yet, but have seen a lot of discussion on the board. Just search "painting blanks", you'll get a treasure trove of information.

Gary, Lamiglas still makes some Honey colored blanks. Check some of the sponsers to the left.

Try fussion spray paint, works well. Prep and clean blank, spray in an area where dust is at a minimum. This work for me.

Neil:
Fussion spray paint can be purchased from almost any hardware store, I obtained mine at the local True Value Hardware store. Best results with gloss black ,although other color worked , gloss black came out the best. Find an area with little or no dust ! for best results.

"CUI Products" in the sponsors list has yellow blanks
