Zippo Lighter Restoration, 24 carat gold plated Harley Davidson edition

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 KZbin 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.

Spectacular !!! But where are the machinery to be able to make a restoration, like the one you show us?

[@reigninoel]

You left out how to put the emblem back on the lighter. Superglue?

[@sinformant]

Check out "deep creep" penetrant spray by seafoam. That stuff makes wd-40 seem like water when it comes to getting through rust and getting things loose.

[@oldskulemikefa-qtube6569]

Awesome results, great job! Not to be petty but you left out how you attached the emblem at the end....epoxy? JB Weld? Just kind of curious because that's the only thing I could imagine giving you any issues going forward? I'm sure you did it right but I'm curious how it was attached. Thanks!

I did this exact thing maybe about 5 years ago now. I found these 2 old Zippo Lighters underneath a bunch of crap and they were both rusted to hell. Fortunately they weren't completely rusted otherwise it would have been a waste of my time. Now I didn't have the knowledge that you do with these things or the fancy tools and equipment either. So I had to make use of what I had, toothbrushes, a wire brush wheel you put in a drill, steel wool, WD-40 and other cleaning products. But eventually I got it all cleaned up and replaced all the rotten wool, pad, wick, flint and to thos day I still have both these lighters and they still work perfectly. I've even restored a few other Zippo lighter since then for other people. Only difference is on the lot more experienced now than I was back there when I did my first 2. So where was the great job you did on that Harley Davidson lighter and it looks a million dollar's. Well done, love from Australia ❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺

Anything is possible when you have the right tools and equipment. And it teaches the restorer to focus on finer details. Really awesome.

After watching 4or 5 of these lighter restoration videos, makes me want another Zippo. And I quit smoking 15 years ago!

[@goodnightmoon]

"the zippo is in ok condition" me: *wHAT*

[@jamielea728]

good night moon hahaha when I saw that I was like “this is why I don’t buy used things online. My definition of ‘ok condition’ is vastly different.” 😂

[@thorham1346]

It's all surface rust. Makes it look about a hundred times worse than it really is.

[@kyleh3615]

You could spend 10 dollars and get a whole new inside section(where the cotton and the flint and striker are held) and use the outside as it was in the beginning

[@lewis_9046]

good night moon that’s what I said

[@stanrogers1302]

Pancouver venguins hahaha that’s ridiculous

Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍

[@robgalo7408]

This guy Is amazing, how did he learn how all those chemicals work, and how everything on the lighter actually works. Must of been good at science and I guess one of those guys who is just extremely good at making things. Well done, loved watching and will continue to follow from now on. Cheers.
