I am almost done doing a re wrap on a saltwater rod. I am using steel blue base wraps and dark blue guide wraps and butt wrap.The bottom half of the rod is all black, reel seat, hypalon and butt cap.
I would like to know if it is possible to paint or epoxe the reel seat hoods or barrel or vinyl butt cap to match the new thread colors? Any Ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you, Tom Re: Need Rod Deco Ideas !

You sure can. I can't tell you how to go about doing it but I've got a couple of things, I've been toying with. Re: Need Rod Deco Ideas !

If the reel seat is off the blank, try powder paint. Like the type you use when making lures/jig heads. Use lower oven setting for longer time than you would a lure.
If reel seat is still on the rod:Marbling is easy, quick and cheap too and each piece is unique. Practice on some scrap first. Re: Need Rod Deco Ideas !

Check out the latest issue of the Rodmaker magazine for a method that might apply to what you are trying to accomplish. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
