I finished these last night and just assembled a few hours ago. The yellow back-painted one I chatted about previously. I had just enough of the blank left for another EDC pen as long as I used the "modified" dimensions as others have described (discard the white extender atop the refill and shorten the tube by about 1/2").
For both blanks, I painted the inside of the blanks after drilling and painted the tubes, let dry overnight. Tinted my epoxy with the same color and let set overnight. After turning, I finished with Glu boost, 3 coats of each, then applied some Mcguire's Plastic Polish.
Yellow Testor's Enamel. Red, yellow and Blue Testor's Enamel mix to get a dark ugly color.
