Great idea. Looks great!

Nice job on the lighter!

I think I have a bottle of cold blue in the basement that I use to touch up my competition guns. I guess I'll have to see if I can dig it out and give that a try!

Outstanding! Thanks for the how-to.

Yeah mine is pretty scuffed up from dropping it on the concrete sidewalk/floor a few times. Other than that it holds up great to normal wear an tear

I have some pre-glued wood veneer that would go on a ronson really nice. looks like i have weekend project

This maybe a little overboard, but.... If you wet sand the lighter with some 1000+ grit sandpaper and put a couple more coats of paint on it, the finish will be very durable even with heavy use. Wet sanding doesnt remove very much of a previous layer of paint and it gives the next layer something to hold on to. Painting old cars people use up to 5+, to get that mirror finish that looks a mile deep and in between each coat they wet sand the previous layer of paint.

Nice!

I have an old double flame lighter that I am thinking about having a buddy powder coat.
