If its a very light rod like a fly rod or steelhead rod you need to be really carefull but if it a regular surf or boat rod you should just try to start the new wrap right where the edge is on one side and end it right where the edge is on the other side. It sounds so exact but in fact its easy. When you apply the finish let the new finish just slightly go over the gloss part of the rod. I'm only talking about 1/32 overlap with the finish past the ends of the thread up on to the gloss part. it will level out and this way you will completely eliminate that interface between the gloss and the matte parts. This is pretty much how you would replace a guide even if the glossy/matte problem didn't exist.
