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.

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

“Wanna see a lighter be restored?”

[@PaulinaPaulino]

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.

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

Pulling out the old dirty cotton and such is always my favorite part... it’s just satisfying

Awesome! This triggers my interest in restoration, you gave it a second life! I'll think twice before a throw a used or broken metal object away.
