AKA Christian's Dad. I'm a novice myself but I'm trying to convince him that I know what I'm doing.

He wrapped the ferrule with varigated green metallic nylon and coated with flex coat CP. The thread is not a true metallic but seems to be more of a blend with nylon. The thread is made by Rice. It turned almost black. I'm thinking that the dark blank is showing through. I'm also guessing that skipping the CP and just flex coating is going to do the same thing. Any suggestions?

PS. he also wants to use this thread as guide underwrap.

Thanks
