A very popular finish for Zippo lighters is brushed chrome. In this design, you can choose from a wide variety of motifs. Brushed chrome is one of the most popular finishes for Zippo lighters. The brass base of the lighter casing is electrolytically plated with a compact layer of chrome and then ground to the desired finish.
The most common finish is horizontal grinding, also called Brushed Chrome, but models are also produced with grinding, for example, into an arc, called Chrome Arch, with cross grinding Diagonal Weave, or also Herringbone Sweep, which is an oblique grinding towards the border between the lid and the bottom of the case. The indisputable advantage of these surfaces is their resistance to scratches and corrosion. Among other things, fingerprints do not remain on this surface, as on models with a glossy surface.
