I have a couple of Pflueger rods and they are painted with a light black matt color and finish and you can also see through to the rod fibers.
I am building a light action rod and want to simulate that same color that you can see through to the rod. Does anyone know how I can achieve that? Thank you, Re: Pflueger Rod Paint

Are you sure they are painted? Your description sounds like a bare charcoal colored carbon fiber rod. Re: Pflueger Rod Paint

Graphite rod blanks don't need any finish on them. Re: Pflueger Rod Paint

David,
Normally, if you use standard nylon wrapping thread as opposed to using NCP thread and avoid using any color preserver; you will normally end up with a translucent thread wrap that allows you to see through the warp down to the blank. take care Re: Pflueger Rod Paint

What you describe sounds like a clear coat glossy finish over a plain carbon fiber blank. Blanks can be clear coated by body shops (best option) or some people have used Rustoleum 2X clear, etc. spray can clears as a do it yourself low-cost alternative. As Spencer said, graphite blanks don't need finish on them - in fact some people strip the finish off blanks that come coated/painted to reduce weight and remove the dampening effect that paint and coatings have on a blank.

I think the Charcoal Gray might be just the ticket. Thanks everyone. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
