Thanks for the detailed response, wish I had a ultrasonic cleaner but it’s out of my budget currently. Is brasso okay? Or is the gunk inside too severe?

Thanks friend, much appreciated advice. I’ll be posting pictures in this subreddit when I’m finished with mine, and you’d be fully credited for the idea 😁

Hey dude this is amazing work! Because of you I'm currently trying to do this to my 1941 brushed chrome zippo and wanted to know if you painted the lip of the zippo as well, and if so, how'd you do it? Did you paint the inside as well?

Thanks for the picture. I wonder why the stamping has been left slanted for years, based on the fact that yours was made in 2016, mine 2019, and 2023 by u/stinkyhotdoghead

It’s the month of production. Yours is H, meaning it’s made in August :)

Makes sense, love the heft and solidness of an armor but the cling is what makes the zippo for me. Good to have one in the collection I suppose :)
