I was just wondering what every body else is using on there casings. I have used lacquer on mine and they have not held up very well so I will not sell any unless I can get a finish to hold up better. I know powder coating would be the way to go, but no one in my area does it.Harbor freight had a small powder coat set up on sale a while back but I don't think it would be worth it unless you used it for other things. Anyway I have made four or these, but 2 in may case which still look fine. The other 2 I have been using mostly on my desk and they do get knock around quite a bit. they both have some chips in the finish but not all the way through. one pen I must have not gotten clean before finishing or it had some moisture under it because it now is getting dark spots in it. I also noticed on the worst one that you can take your finger nail and take the finish right off. maybe some one has a better finish other than powder coat
