Randy- I'm trying to come up with a marbling scheme that would compliment a rod with holographic guides and reel seat-Any suggestions? Thanks!

I really like purple and gold with this scheme; I've done a couple of them and they look really good; if purple isn't in the cards, blue is a good second choice!

I have Tap pigments-what do you use to get the gold? Thanks!

Testor's metallic model paint. Make sure you pour off the solvent! Their metallics are great

I guess that I've switched to gold and silver in the Metal Leaf colors; still have to pour off the solvent; Testor's is really good, too, though. Got the gold at WalMart in the craft section and ran across more colors (silver, brass, and one different gold - antique??) at a hardware store.

Goofed here; should have said "Liquid Leaf" not Metal Leaf. SAT.

I have a film/DVD maker coming in on Saturday to do the first filming on a DVD on marbling. I'll include all known pigments, etc. on the finished product; hopefully I'll have the finished master in my hands in May.

One more question- Is your base color black with the purple and gold swirled in? Thanks!

I do the base of purple, swirl white and add gold as really thin highlights. The base can be white and the purple swirled in, too.
