Aloha,
I have never built a rod and this is my first attempt at wrapping guides and finishing work. I am attempting to refurbish my 15 foot fiberglass outriggers for my boat. I have stripped and sanded them down. I had left over Quantum 99 marine paint that I painted my boat with and painted the outriggers with the Quantum 99. At this point I started doing research on finishes/coatings for outriggers. I want to coat the entire outrigger with something before I put all the other hardware on and epoxy. I could not find info on coating fiberglass outriggers but kept finding more and more info about rod building and rod coatings. This has affected me in two ways. Now I want to build my own deep sea fishing rod and has confused even more about what I can use to coat my outriggers. As rod builders, I know some of you have experience with fiberglass/carbon fiber outriggers. I was hoping some of you can chime in and give me some schooling that can help me finish this project. Ahi season is right around the corner. Mahalo! Kelly Re: Fiberglass Outrigger referbishing

If this is the paint you used? I would say you don't need to do anything. [www.jamestowndistributors.com] Unless you want a clear topcoat? [www.jamestowndistributors.com] . That's top notch paint so you should be good to go! Just my 2 cents. Cheers Jaa Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/27/2018 10:53PM by Jay Dubay. Re: Fiberglass Outrigger referbishing

Just my 2 cents. Cheers Jaa Aloha Jay, It's the exact paint I used and yes your right. I wanted to give it a little gloss because the paint I used was the Satin in Voodoo Black to give my boat contrast between the glossy green. I was hoping I could just spray it with some kind of automotive polyurethane, couple of light coats and call it a day. Mahalo, Kelly Re: Fiberglass Outrigger referbishing

2K clear coat should work, test a spot first to make sure it's compatible, It would be cheaper. it is automotive clear coat. [www.amazon.com] Re: Fiberglass Outrigger referbishing

Makes this a little more easy to complete. All I have is three eyes to wrap and epoxy and its done. The side affects of doing this, is now I have rod building fever. You may be reading more post from me in the future as I try to build my first deep sea tuna rod. Mahalo for your assistance! Kelly Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
