Nice work and definitely an improvement! I wonder about the durability of the paint too, since I seem to drop my lighters quite often. I might do better with a rubberized paint.

i gave it a shot and i think I'm failing...we'll have to wait and see

Where would these typically be in a Walmart? By the registers? I haven't seen any there, or the surrounding area.

usually they are by the "smoking" aisle up front

I wonder what it would turn out after being "blued" like gun barrels. You can actually buy a chemical that turns it black that you just dip it into, then wash/ rub off, I'm sure you'd be able to get some in gun stores. Check out "cold bluing" on youtube to get an idea.

I have never had any luck at Walmart with these but the Rite-Aid (drugstore) always has them in stock.
