Best method for painting a quivertip

Although I am using this on a heavy pike rod, the paints used will work fine on light quivertip rods as acrylic paints are very flexible. All of the paint used in this method is Acrylic, other forms of paint like enamel are not flexible enough and will crack when the tip bends. First step: Masking off the rod rings, try your best to press the tape close as possible to the rod to give a clean mask, buying professional scale modelling tape is a good idea if you want the best results Second step: Very brief, light sanding of the surfaces to help the primer stick to the rod surface Third step: Use the whitest acrylic primer spray available to you. A thin white base will mean the orange fluorescent paint will shine brighter, I can't recommend the can I used as the paint was more of a dull grey. Make sure you test the spray out as you do NOT want to accidentally put on a thick layer. Fourth step: Acrylic Revell's Aqua RV36125 Luminous Orange Matt - this is a fairly new modelling paint that gives an industry-leading bright orange according to tests by modelling hobbyists and is commonly available online. If you are using a paint brush, it's best to dilute it 3:1 Acrylic:Water and give it 3 to 6 coats with 40 mins drying time between each coat. This produces a smooth paint finish that is free of paintbrush marks. Fifth step: You will want to varnish over this with an acrylic to protect the paint against weeds, soil and grit that will inevitably come in contact with the rod tip over the years. I used Humbrol Acrylic Gloss 035 for a shiny finish, or you could use Humbrol Acrylic Matt 049 if you prefer a non shiny finish. I diluted this down 1:1 Acrylic:Water and applied three coats, make sure you do this in a warm room as clear varnish can sometimes turn milky/cloudy when painted on cold.
