Copper as a plating for some Berea kits (SL, Baron, Cigar, PFC etc) is out for some time now. I was wondering how the plating is holding up in comparison to the other platings. The color seems for me to go well with some woods.

isnt is epoxy coated like the 24kt gold kits? I would assume its about the same but I will wait for confirmation on that...

Thank you for this first answer. My experience with gold kits is limited (and not good) as I use only Titanium gold, Black Ti, Platinum, Chrome and satin nickel kits, all coatings and platings that hold up very good to excellent. Someone had asked me for something different in plating colors. Lately, I have seen quite a number of pens in these copper platings, and liked them. I think that might go very well with certain woods or plastics. My experience with copper is that it will tarnish easily and must be somehow protected if one will keep the shine.
I also have absolutely no experience with epoxy coated platings, the suppliers of my kits do not use them.
So, if the copper plating users could give us some more input here and let us know how the Cu is holding up.

I have a copper sierra that is terribly worn and is only a couple of months old. It is the only pen I have that has worn like that. Don't know why.
