Gold SIC Boat guides and Tips, or painting a guide to match?

Friends:

I am looking for a heavy duty SIC boat guide in gold color in size 12, and a tips around 16-18. The frame style is the Pac Bay BBHG. I know the Fuji SIC golds were discontinued years ago, but might anyone have any lurking around that they'd want to part with? My objective is to round out a set.....

An alternative is to take a BBHG guide and paint it gold in color. Has anyone painted a guide this way, with any success?

This is for a land based shark rod.

Warm regards,

Whit

I doubt very much that any paint would work for a guide. However, one can always test and try.

But, I suspect that gold plating would work just fine:

Fuji gold IG guides are available from several tackle and rod building dealers in Japan.

I think I have the old Pac Bay ones in gold - I'll check it out on Monday and see if I have a 12.
