I wonder if anyone has tried painting a guide in bright gold finish. My problem is thus: I have some nice gold plated SIC boat guides but no matching tip. This color on a sturdy boat tip now appear to be unavailable out there. Soooo....I'm thinking get out the rattle can and get to work. Any other tips/experiences out there? Words of caution?

Hi Phillip,
I'm thinking you would have a problem with getting proper surface prep on something as small as a tip and paint adhesion would be a problem. Plus there's the problem of preventing or getting the paint off the insert. Good luck. Possibly someone out there has got a tip you are looking for.

If I remember correctly, Billy V has done something like that in the past (powder coating etc.) I believe it is a nighmare of a job to do too. I would give him a call or email and see what he has to say from his experience. Re: Painting Guides and Tips
