Great Job Max. What color did you paint the tubes? The colors are very bright

I didn't I used fine sand paper to ruff up the tubes then used a plain buffing wheel to brighten up the tubes then used medium CA and just let it air dry. I have turned about five of these for different customers, and I have used black, white, and the brass. I really like the brass on the Cigars because they are thick enough that you don't see the tube, but the colors really POP.
