Anybody know if it's possible (or available) to have a dark blue CF handle?

It's possible to make one of any color you want. Get a piece and cut a handle
It will not be swept. Seen a few guys make 1/12 scale rc parts with cf blank material and a router.
They said it took some practice and sharp high quality bits.

This website has all kinds of material and just the first one I pulled up.
I would be looking for a solid plate about 1/8th.

Not that this helps, but I have yet to see one ever. Not saying it couldn’t be done...

I have actually seen silver and gold ones before on those cheap Chinese reels on Aliexpress, so colors are possible. That being said, it would likely be cost-prohibitive to get a one-off custom color handle made.

yeah I kinda figured it was a no go. I was looking for a dark blue one just to match some blue stuff.
