Dear friends,

I'm trying to reapir a friend's rod. I'd like to put a coat of finish in some places where the blank coat was lost. Where can I buy pigments to be added to finish?. I use to buy at Mudhole, but I could'n found them. Wich kind of pigments are they?.

These are thick and should last a long time- [www.tapplastics.com];

If you know somebody in the bodyshop business that has there own paint mixing room the pigment supply is endless.The small amount that you will need is usually spilled on the bench every day.

Go to any store that sells paint (bring your own small container) and talk them into a little of the pigment they add to mix there paints

That's where I get most all of mine (Like Mike said above).

They also sell those pigments in tubes. Homedepot has it.

West Marine and other boat supply places have pigment in tubes also.

No offense to anybody above.

You should expect a pure pigment is in a powder. If you are getting in a liquid form, it is in a "medium", maybe water, "oil" or other medium with additives applied such as brigtheners and fillers. Colours (sorry, I use the "u", as I am Canadian) in a shop are often a combination of pigments.

Without going further in the science and structure. I note ....

Pigment biggest consumer is the automative industry.
Cosmetic industry applies a substantial touch to generation of pigment.

The consumer can get pigments from well-stocked fine art stores. If you do not like Rochester's Fine Art Store (which is a fine store),
