Perma Gloss to protect a painted rod?

I am playing with a pink rod- an attempt to work on an Alaskan Fireweed theme. Have never worked with a painted rod before. The pink layer seems a bit fragile. I assume the proper fix is to apply a coat of perma gloss to the rod? Thanks,

Perma gloss will lift the majority of paints. Do a search for additional info Re: Perma Gloss to protect a painted rod?

I painted two boat rods (one pink, one blue) with Ace spray enamel. The next day I put on a protective coat of Krylon Crystal Clear. The following day I applied Permagloss and it worked great. The Clear Coat acted as a secure barrier to protect the enamel from the Permagloss.. I had tried it without the Clear Coat and the Permagloss made a mess of the enamel. The added weight of all this had little to no noticable effect on the rods as they were 20-40# class. I would not do it on an ultralight spinning rod or light fly rod. I don't have a digital camera to offer photos, but the colors are fine and the blanks are very well protected under the Permagloss. Re: Perma Gloss to protect a painted rod?

The other thing you could do is tint the Permagloss with a pink pigment and then apply to the rod. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
