I think that if you will do a test wrap of Gudbroad Scarlet thread, and their Gold thread, and then run a couple of coats of Flex-Coat CP, you will have your colors.

I think that you said this was an older rod, and you have to think back. Many years ago, we were limited to thread that was made without CP, and was basicly made by Gudbroad, and some rod builders continued to do "what they knew" well beyond this period. I have never wraped a rod with Gudbrod NCP thread, so I don't know what this thread looks like under epoxy. I can tell you that this this thread is either NCP thread, or is coated with CP.
