I'm going to wrap a rod that will have a Shimano Curado 50E bait casting reel on it. I'm looking for a thread color that will match the dark green on the reel. I see a few dark greens at different retailers but sometimes the color on the chart is not exactly what it looks like when you get the thread in your hands. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

There was a similar post a few weeks ago :

I posted that original thread. I just put the first coat on the wrap last night. The blank is an RX8 XSB843 with split grip green burl cork, Gudebrod dark green A thread (no CP), and gold trim wraps. The thread color is a perfect match. I just picked up some gold dust from the paint guy in town to mix in with the second coat to see if I can get the look of the Curado in the wraps. I'll post pictures soon. I'm actually putting my 50E on that rod for pitching light jigs and plastics. The whole setup is about 10 ounces.

Thanks guys
I'll see if I can find some of that thread. I was thinking of adding a pinch of gold dust to the finish also. This is going on a RX7 IP842 blank I will use wading for specs and reds.
