Looking for metallic blue thread to match Rodgeeks blue metallic paint...can anyone help get me close? If not a match, a complimenting blue metallic thread? (Hard to tell from photos!)
Thanks in advance!

I would ask Rodgeeks-they are very responsive and may know the best answer.

Worst case buy a Pro Wrap metallic in Royal Blue and Deep Blue- looks like one or the other will look good. But as you say, photos on a computer don't work well.

I was leaning towards the Pro Wrap Deep Blue, or Sulky Metallic blue. I'll give Rodgeeks a shout.

I have the Rod Greeks sample packet, and the Blue Metallic is very very dark. I do not have Pro Wrap threads on hand, however none of the Gudebrod blue metallics even come close.
