Looking really good zippo... thats a really nice classic color combo you picked!!

At the moment it looks a little orange peely...? Is that just because it needs a good sanding and clear coating??

ok, so this one didnt get put on the back burner, i spent a while fixing the textured paint. the paint was supposed to be ready to shoot, but it wasnt. i wetsanded everything down, and the black was fixed by that. the red i tried reshooting, with less pressure, more pressure, a little more thinner, a lot more thinner. and well it never turned out right. so i bought a different colot red. lets just say problem fixed. there has also been a lot of progress on the new hood for this. no pictures of those until its all revealed...... so until then heres some pics.
