I have never done a tiger wrap, but I'm about to attempt my first on a University of KY themed rod. I'd like to get a blue effect. I've ran some searches and looked at pictures on this site and others. I was thinking a black and silver metallic base with the blue as my top thread after sacrificing. Other thoughts are black and white base with blue on top, or black and blue base with blue on top. I'm looking for suggestions as to what will "pop" better. I'll probably add 3 coats of pro kote over the base before doing the top to enhance the effect.

thanks,

jwr
