Turned my first pen in plastic - only after I completed it I recalled reading somewhere about painting the tubes before glueing them in ![Whistling :whistling: :whistling:](http://www.penturners.co.uk/images/smilies/18/whistling.gif)
The brass is visible on this one a little, but not too bad, it matches the overall colour. What do people use to paint the tubes? Do you drill the hole for the tube a bit larger then, so that the paint doesn't peel when the tube is inserted?
Thanks,
ilya
