Painted the blank Pink

A while back, thanks to a lot of great advice from this board, I was able to complete the project of painting my daughter's gray rod pink.....What can I say....that's what she wanted...While I was at it I made it a split grip and added a Kistler type hook keeper. I promised to post pics so here they are....Now if I can just learn to take clear pictures with my wife's digital camera...LOL All input on my work will be appreciated....even if it stings a bit....Thanks

Nice job! As is always the question...what paint did you use and what did you top coat it with?

VERY NICE! I have 2 daughters and I KNOW they would love something like that. I will have to learn fancy weaves first before I can do one for my son....HA! He is into Spiderman.

Great Job! What an inspiration! :)
