I did another mod.

[Mr.Maduro]

The latest rendition of my stupid obsession. Got away from Cuban bands.

I just did my first mod. What do you guys think?

 

[Bondo 440]

Nice !
Ya gonna Clearcoat?

 

[Colonel Lingus]

"...spring mod?" Please elaborate. My Ronson requires Ahhhhnnoolddd to press it down.

Lighters are cool...

I did another Ronson mod. I have some kind of sick compulsion to keep doing them. I think maybe I need professional help.

I did clear coat. Its a matte finish. Not a glossy person.

 

[Omerta]

Man I need to do one of these. Haven't bought a jet lighter yet. Figured I'd burn all my cigars lol.

 

[boltman]

Well done. Looks great. Can we get another picture in focus.? I like the white background. Classy. Did you put a band on both sides?

 

[BrewinHooligan]

I'm loving all of these! Too many irons in the fire and lacking the coordination to make it look like I would want it prevent me from tackling this. I would love to do one with my Hooligan Hand Roll graphic though...

Our Wally world does not carry these. Where are you getting them.

I was going to order one online. My Wal-Mart or any other stores in the area doesn't have them either

That was the best I could get my phone to focus. Seems like the camera on this sucks for close ups.
And its just the one band wrapped around to the back like yours. The biggest pain in the ass was getting the pin and spring back in. Dropped the damn things 3 times. Took more time hunting them down than doing the whole mod! Lol

Flea Bay has them all over for 5-10 bucks for those of you looking for a base model to do your own artwork.

Not sure how I feel about the two tone. It looks nice but not sure if I really like it.

 

[AlohaStyle]

Here is a link to a Bolivar I did awhile ago. @04EDGE40 did a really good tutorial on customizing a Ronson. He is the original creator of these Ronson customizations. I will look for his tutorial and post it for you.
The only change I made was putting a cigar band on both sides.
