  • Zippo lighter restoration Harley Davidson AWESOME Gold plated 24 carat edition with amazing outcome!
    This Zippo lighter is not very old. One of my fans here on TH-cam sent it to me from US. He wrote that he lost it at a Bike festival a few years back and that he found it two years later at the same camp where he uses to have his tent. I think that he is going to be very surprised when he sees this restoration video.
    RESTORATION PROCESS
    I always start with WD40 rust remover. Just to be safe. This zippo lighter inner case was stuck in the zippo bottom case. I had a really hard time separate those two parts from each other. I chosed to sandblast the metal emblem and used my Dremel 3000 mini drill to polish the lighter inner and outer case. After I have cleaned the parts I electroplated the Harley Davidson metal emblem with nickel to make the metal susceptible for the gold plating. I plated emblem with 24 carat of gold many times to achieve a beautiful thick layer of gold.

    “The zippo is in ok condition” looks like it got hit by the asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs

    I love the fact that there's no background song and we can actually hear him working.

    Using the drill as a tumbler for cleaning the small parts was brilliant.

    You NEVER cease to fascinate me. Your art, your abilities, your knowledge of various procedures and tricks that go together with it... a symphony for the soul, if I say so myself! I would love to have your workshop; I would love to be able to do what you do. Just for the satisfaction of creating a thing of beauty. Truly awesome.
