This is a 10k jr gent 2 pen kit.
Painted tubes first with a metallic white. After the paint dried I put Avery stickers made from a letter punch from hobby lobby. Next I painted it black and let the paint dry somewhat then with shaky hands I pulled the stickers off with exacto knife. Then cast in the mini resin saver mold with a slow cure epoxy from hobby lobby.
I turned the barrels between centers and wet sanded to 12,000 then used plastic polish and some synthetic car wax called "ICE".
Took me four days of trial and error to finally make one. I was using the cast n craft resin but it kept eating the paint off the tubes. Someone in my turning club said to try epoxy instead and it worked.
