I'm selling this because I no longer use it. It works perfectly. It has been painted metallic red. It's a very deep color. For paint chipping prevention and UV protection, it has a double clear coating. The paint used is Tamiya brand, for plastic models. The item will be shipped as the mechanical pencil body only. Please refrain from price negotiations in the comments, as it disrupts the Q&A. Please use the price reduction request function. No returns. No fussy buyers. Please understand that this is a used item.
