Hello Zippo lighter owners, I am looking for your opinion. What kind zippo would you pefer, a Matte Zippo, or a Chrome Zippo? Why or Wh not? And also feel free to share you good/bad stores regaurding the Matte or Chrome Zippos. Which is Best for doing zippo Tricks also. Please help me out by giving you opinion and answering the stories above. Give as Much info as you can
I think it is more of a personal preference as to what finish your Zippo has. I prefer a matte finish but all of the guys in my family liked chrome. To me a matte finish doesn't show the wear and tear that a lighter usually goes through in it's life and gives it that certain personality that you expect of a lifetime friend. Plus some fuels seem to make splotches on chrome sometimes and can be hard to rub out.
I have bought so many Zippos that I can't give a good source for them. Every place I see one I don't have, I get it. Yard sales, swap meets. stores and pawn shops, you name it.
As to doing tricks with a lighter, the one that works best for you is the best one. Have seen people use 60 year old ones while sitting next to someone with a brand new one. It's like a gun, the one that feels best in your hand is the one you should choose to work your magic with. Hope that answers some of your questions.
