Powder Coated Aluminum Pencil

[Cwalker935]

This is my second kitless aluminum mechanical pencil. I bought a Harbor Freight powder coating set up a year or so ago and finally broke down and used it.

That looks nice! It looks like a matte finish??? Which is awesome. And maybe a Richard Greenwald Component?

That is an attractive pencil - I've been searching the horizons for a good pencil for a few friends/relatives; this is helpful.

Greenwald push button mech coupled with Parker pencil converter from bear tooth woods. Matte finish. Step drilled, tapped and turned on wood lathe.

Very nice. I love the finish. I need to do the powder coating for some guys who want duty pens. Would be very nice. The results look great.

Very lovely work, Cody !!

And your thread is very timely .... I have been intending to start a thread to find out if anyone uses powder coating on pens .... now I know !

One question is about range of colors .... if you want a non-standard color can you mix powders to achieve the ?

Or would that give you a spotted-cow effect ?

I am not a powder coating authority by any means and have no idea if the powders can be blended. However, Prismatic powders claims to have over 6500 colors with a large range of glosses.

Cody, thank you indeed for that info and link.

You answered another question .... seems you choose the gloss when you choose the powder.
That is good to know.
