It was getting dark. Lay it on the table and looked at me wearily. She was still quite young, inexperienced. But she got seasoned adventurer with restless hands ...


Sorry, got distracted =)


In general, a birthday gave me a Zippo. Yes, that's bad luck. Darilschik asked the black ice, and brought to the states of black mat. Come to a black mat, and then x 218ZB ...

And I would not say that I did not like the design with a red stripe in the style grid Golf GTI, just does not give this mat feeling that holding a real zippo.


In short! It was decided ... And after received, I decided to remove the paint, tear off, delete and exterminate. Bought at a stall nail polish remover cheapest, took a martini glass, put it keysik, covered saucer and leave to infuse. Stars on the label is not a lot came running ... An hour and a half went to take action. Extremely reluctant to strip off the infection. Really thick layer. Liquid paint softened somewhat, and I managed to tear off a cap of lipstick decent coat of paint. Left to lie still for half an hour. Mitol appeared. Ostap eyes lit up ... Anyway, after an hour innuendo using the above cap, and later, and a sharp knife in his hands was scratched izryad brass. Grabbing a piece of emery nazhdachki average, began to polish. Gloss sighted pretty quickly.

So. What we are ... well, that is, I'm up :). It is still decent, in my opinion brushed brass.


I look forward to your comments :)


And one more thing ... Do not be afraid to experiment ;)

Ha! Thank you, comrades :)


Gorynych5, no, not yet polished, but the idea is to make it high polish brass, though not sure. It will be too pretentious in my opinion.

The whole point is not zalapyvatsya, and then it's still darken just the sides and top of the polish and all. Work for two hours if shkurit hands, need water, skins P500 and P2000, and of the final chord paste Goi

While finished reading, I almost shed a tear ... And I dream to buy vparil contrary to his Ring of Fire, that's just such a 218ZB. And it's so cruel to her cost.

ZY So say you paint on it sturdy? Och well. I was just worried about this issue.

ForZe, yes. Paint - flint! Powder. As for brake calipers Porsche ;) No, really. Very hard scrubbing. Chemistry has helped only a little.

About the grid just noticed :) Brave eskperiment ... Or maybe the dream of the alchemists of the Middle Ages, and it has become the gold? ;))

In general, as far as I know, brass quickly oxidizes and darkens.

ForZe, so I was wondering what it would oxidize quickly, that was vintage, but then decided that it should happen in a natural way, so that karma is clean. :)

h1k0 likely meant not a drill, a Dremel. But the meaning of your words is clear :) If you polish up my mind, it might will use Dremel with a felt wheel.

This will help you in the banal electrolysis. I'm so his "Chinese" zavintazhil ... The impression was that he was 200 years old. I only wish that I was trying to do the opposite zinc coating, but the + and - sometimes confused ...


Another good "vintage" ferric chloride and copper sulphate.


ZY In general, the methods of his lighter muck heap) But I prefer brand new and straight from the tin, so I purged my lighter once every 2 weeks :)
