SaintLuis Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I have 2 Duponts, and they're amazing. Ligne 2, and a maxijet. But man, those came out fantastic! Congrats.

BehikeLover2 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Here is a video on how Dupont does the laquer, maybe it gives you some Ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sYYT4-IcPR0 2
CaptainQuintero Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 I used a plastic paint that people use to paint electric guitars (That piano-black gloss) then a 2-part lacquer to cover and protect
LP9 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Very well done! Congrats. I am amazed at the difference.
Pedro2486 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 They are fantastic bro. Great job. If I can find some deals like these my old timepiece repair skills can be dusted off.

I'm quite shocked at his many there around on eBay each week for around $45, if you keep a look out you'll get one pretty quickly
OkieJoe Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 what a stupid thread. Now im bidding on duponts on ebay....
Knilas Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 A job well done! Those look awesome! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Lotusguy Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 what a stupid thread. Now im bidding on duponts on ebay.... Don't bid against me 1
OkieJoe Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 its very possible we are bidding on the same ones lol. we can work something out if I knew which ones you guys where bidding on. We are prob running the price up on each other.
Lotusguy Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I just spent way too much at LCDH Stuttgart so the last incoming dupont will be it for a while for me - bid away

polarbear Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I've got half a dozen on my watch list If the ones I like stay under my ceiling I'll be grabbing one or two to add to the collection
OkieJoe Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 im watching you Bear! quit snipping my lighters! lol
polarbear Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Truce? I'll take the red and blue one and you can have the gold ones? ;-)
CaptainQuintero Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Pics needed of you guy's spoils of war!
polarbear Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 CQ, can you please explain the difference between the different colored Dupont Gasses? Do you use Dupont gas or just a high quality gas with an adapter. I only ask because I will have trouble finding Dupont branded gas where I live but do have access to good quality triple refined butane that I use in all my other lighters

I only ask because I will have trouble finding Dupont branded gas where I live but do have access to good quality triple refined butane that I use in all my other lighters As far as I know the only difference between the colours is the type of adapter used on the individual capsules I just use the screw in adapters and colibri gas. Apparently using the official refill capsules can over time bend and damage the refill valve on the lighter as it is forced against foil seal to pierce it.
OkieJoe Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Ill takes some more pics when it comes in. This is my first one, so I was looking for one that wasnt much of a project. I think I will seek more that need some work next... 1
