hello again every one again thanks for all the help !, I wonder with all the decoritive wraps , weaves ,inlays etc are any of you decorating blanks with an airbrush either using stencils ,matting or freehand . The possibilities seem to be many and could really make a unique and different looking rod. multi colors overlays, spatterting, patterns, designs,pictures or entire scenes. I ask cuz I just purchased a good guality airbrush to spray a blank a single color but the vidieo that came with the brush opened my mind up to the Idea of lots of options. Thanks in advance Happy wrapping "John" Re: Air brush designs on rods

Check out this months issue of Saltwater Sportsman on page 22. Drew Thompson's "splatter painting" techniques. Talk about some wild looking rods. Re: Air brush designs on rods

Grumpy Phil from Manhattan Custon Tackle used to do this. He had a rod which was broken on display that had flames between the foregrip & first guide. I have a hard enough time signing my name - I'd never be able to draw. Definitely worth a shot if you can draw though. Billy Re: Air brush designs on rods

I am a lousy painter, but I have taken rods to a custom auto painter andh had him do rods where they start out one color and fade thru a spectrom of colors. They come out supper. emagin a tip that had about 6 inches of pink and by the time it got to the but it was a deep violet Re: Air brush designs on rods

Since you mention it can auto clear coat be sprayed with an airbrush? If so you could get some eye-popping finishes with a paint like Du Pont Chromillusion. It changes color as the light intensity and angle changes. That would really be a trip if it could be done. I asked a DuPont auto paint rep about this and he swears that the paint would hold-up as would the finish, including sun and salt,etc. These Outcast Blanks from Hawaii change color: don't know what kind of paint they use though. The Chromillusion is awfully big $ a pint mixed along with the clear coat is about $750.00 I think. T'would be interesting. Warren Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
