Blank Color

Hi, Can anyone help me on whether or not you can change the color and how to re-apply a clear finish to a graphite rod blank, there are times that a friend would want me to build them a rod with a specific color in mind and trying to find one from a supplier is almost impossible, unless anyone out there has any information on where to get colored rod blanks other than mostly black.

Thanks for your help, Brian

There is an article on the online library here that will tell you all you need to know. You can tint blank coatings with pigments to get most any color you want. Read away and come back with follow up questions if you need to do so.

CTS rod blanks come in MANY colors; they're a sponsor of this site and you can click on their name to the left and go to their website. Andy Dear at Lamar Reel Seats is currently handling some of their blanks. Andy is also a sponsor; you could shoot him an email and ask; just click on Lamar to the left.

Also be aware that if you change the color of a blank, find out if they will honor the guarantee on that blank if any thing happens to it ?
