Just be sure and check when you buy rod as a lot of suppliers sell 304 or 302 rod. The color difference isn't big, but as Damon said it's there. So watch what you buy for rod if you want a perfect match. BTW you can get 300 series stainless from most any local machine shop in any size you want as well as a few tig welding rods in stainless to match. I'm sure they would give you a decent price especially on the rod. Don't expect to find 400 series rod at a machine shop as I never welded it except for 440C and that's another story for another day. Your mailbox is full Dave. Don't forget to erase the sent box as that;s what I forgot and wondered why my box was full after I erased all the received stuff.
