What product to coat a FibreGlass rod surface finish

[frenzyfol]

I have a few old fibreglass beauties which are beginning to show surface wear and tear.
Does anyone know what product one would use to coat the surface again?

Im not talking about the regular epoxy used to bind runners to the rod. I mean the surface clear coat.

Thanks in advance.

Have a read through this, something in this article might help-

I gave up on finish coating fibreglass rods. It always ends up scratched or peeling.

The last product I bought, a water based product and very expensive, was absolutely hopeless turning a milky colour on contact with water and then going soft.

The first rod I ever built was on a Butterworth FMT72L. I built it when I was a teenager so it is now well over 40 years old. I have refurbished it twice in that time, with new guides and bindings. Before I put the new guides on, I masked up the grips and reel seat and sprayed the blank with a rattle can. The finish is OK. No bubbles. It gets some scratches from leaning it against things but otherwise it’s held up pretty good. I’d have no hesitation in spraying it again when the time comes for another rebuild. 😉
