I don't see alot of pens made from Fordite, but up recently picked up a bunch and have had some good success turning it and selling them.
It's a weird material in that it is soft, but brittle. Because of this I need to have a light touch and very little pressure. I have only had 1 blow out so far. When I get close I do alot of sanding.
I send up to 12,000 and then do 3-4 layers of CA and sand back to 12,000 and then buff. After all automotive paint should look like automotive paint. I like to pair the fordite with a fun gear shift pen or a classy majestic pen.
Some of the material is from a dodge plant in Columbus, some is corvette paint, one from a plant off 8 mile road from the 50-60's and another one from the 70's.
