Hi Frank

I just painted my first graphite blank. I used Permi Color automotive paint. Then used the same brand clear coat. It turned out real nice! But I haven't weathered it yet, I just did it a few weeks ago.

If you aren't able to do the automotive finishes, permagloss or Lumaseal can be used for this purpose. Relatively easy to apply with a foam brush.

Hello Frank.

If you go the Permagloss or Lumaseal direction threr is an article in RodMaker (V15 I3 pg. 22. "Blank Coating Tool") that you might want to read.

Happy Coating.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.
