Joe,

Dont be afraid to try practice with all sorts of color combos. I'm building another switch rod right now using metallic ice blue, light blue nylon and black nylon in the same scheme as on my step by step build. Sounds like something crazy, but to my surprise it actually looks pretty darn cool. Try a whole pile of color combos and decide what you like the best. The nice thing about that blank being a matte grey is that almost anything will go along with it, just depends on your style.

Good luck!
