Does Batson make LTCFNG in sizes smaller than 6?

I'm contemplating what would look good on a XSB820.75 (ti-chrome finish) with an ABU Revo which has Tich trim and a gold ring on the levelwind. That would give the whole thing a Black/Tich/Gold look.

Also, what thread color goes well with the RX8 blanks? I have metallic pewter. Would that be a close match if I wanted the wraps to blend in?

I just finished a couple of test wraps on a RX8 XSW72ML using Pac Bay metallic pewter. No CP and the wrap about disappeared.

ALPS micro guides are on the way
I have some of the TCMNG 3mm-5mm in that color
But as to whom will be stocking the ALPS Micro's in that color scheme is up to each vendor to decide.

To get wraps to "disappear" you need to use a nylon thread (not metallic and not NCP or Stay True) without applying CP. I always pick a color a shade lighter than the blank. Look for something in the gray family and you will be all set.
