Anyone out there custom paint blanks?

I love my Dan Craft rods, but not the matte gray color. I am also not keen to paint the blank myself, though I have seen the posts on this subject. Does anyone offer this service? I could try the local car painting place as a last resort. I am most interested in a bamboo/beige color.

There were several posts that some one uses an auto shop and gets his done - cheap
Ask a few in your area. Remember the least amount of material the better - less weight

If you live near me in NJ, an auto body shop will run you about 100 dollars. After telling them where to put their spray guns, I painted it myself. Not hard at all

I use this stuff. Two dust coats, just enough to cover the blank then one or two coats of clear. Spar urathane is easy to use. [www.plasti-kote.com]
