Better looking newwish!

[kilter]

Hello!
So, I had a newwish pen for a while, and there were scratches all over it. I saw that under the matte black "stuff", my pen was gold colored(bronze? Copper?). I sanded the black stuff until it reveiled the gold, and I did it for the whole pen. It now looks like a gold newwish! You can see the fine scratches from the sandpaper, but it is still pretty cool!
I will post some pics later.

It will be brass, unless your pointer cost a small fortune! Looking forward to pics.:beer:

Heads up, brass tarnishes real fast in air and soon it'll look more like dark yellow rather than shiny gold. There's a reason it's coated.

If you want to restore brass to shiny state, use some toothpaste. Seriously, I didn't believe it myself until I tried it. Just put some on a paper towel. It cleans the oxidised layer right up and it's like new again. Well until it tarnishes again. :/

Thnaks, Thanks great to know. This "mod" is not for everyone. My pen was already scratched. For people who has an expensive pen, DO NOT DO THIS! If you have ebay pen, then...

The color is more shinny that the camera depicts.
Hope ya liked it!

Also got some polished Newwish pens.

I use "Never Dull" to clean them every 5-7weeks.

Looks nice Kitler

I did the same with my WL core and added a LED to it

What you could try is some cape cod Metal polishing cloths (they are the best )
You can use them everytime, and if they dry out just add some oil to it.
