when the flat/mate black is used in automotive applications they have a flat/mate clear that they use to keep the car from rusting/paint bubbling. for what you are using it for it shouldn't cost more then a few bucks if you can find a shop to sell it to you

Making a 3 buck ronson looking like a 50 buck custom lighter, nice idea

[Reply]

how long did you wait between coats?
[Reply]

Whatever the can suggested...I think it was like 15 minutes
[Reply]

did you do any other custom jobs?
[Reply]

Nothing yet Perry....I think I gave away all my extra Ronson's lol
[Reply]

:-) dang.
[Reply]

Nice!
[Reply]

I may give it a shot tonight or wait for tomorrow. Thanks for giving me the idea
[Reply]

Nice work and definitely an improvement! I wonder about the durability of the paint too, since I seem to drop my lighters quite often. I might do better with a rubberized paint.

i gave it a shot and i think I'm failing...we'll have to wait and see

Where would these typically be in a Walmart? By the registers? I haven't seen any there, or the surrounding area.
[Reply]

usually they are by the "smoking" aisle up front

I wonder what it would turn out after being "blued" like gun barrels. You can actually buy a chemical that turns it black that you just dip it into, then wash/ rub off, I'm sure you'd be able to get some in gun stores. Check out "cold bluing" on youtube to get an idea.

I have never had any luck at Walmart with these but the Rite-Aid (drugstore) always has them in stock.
[Reply]

that's a cool idea :-)
