G'day folks
I have been searching for dark charcoal color metallic thread. I have tried the pewter and dark grey colors from the various manufacturers but its not quite dark enough. Would anyone be able to steer me in the correct direction. A slight olive tone to the dark charcoal is acceptable as well for my current project.

Sulky #7051 metallic black, Angler's Workshop #9001, FishHawk # BLK.

Gudebrod 441. But that's regular, not metallic.

......................

Edit- I was going to suggest Gudebrods pewter 9005 until I reread your post saying you tried it.

G'day guys
I have tried the gudebrod pewter, JM pewter, Sulky Pewter and Pacific Bay grey as well as the metallic black from all of these brands. The the pewters are too light for the effect that I am after and the black is well black. I have also tried the gudebrod electra metallic and its close but very thick diameter for what I am after. I might have a go at tinting some epoxy and using that over silver. I was hoping that some one might know something outside of the mainstream brands

The gudebrod fly tying kevlar in olive looks interesting but I remember reading somewhere that its hard to work with due to lack of stretch and wax treatment. I will experiment though

Try an underwrap of metalic silver with an over wrap of Gudebrod 441 and no CP.

The 441 with no CP. Dang close to black, but still grey.
