Hi, Anyone know of a place where I could buy a ''BLACK'' Peanut lighter, if not what do you think I could use, to paint/spray or varnish it black. As I've tried to use all sorts of things to do it.

You need to de-grease it thoroughly with something like thinners. Then spray paint it with stove paint. Something like Stovebright or Rust-Oleum.
It's an expensive way to do up a peanut lighter that can be bought for a quid though.
We had paint left over, so just used that, my friend used nail polish on the bottom of hers so that she could tell which screw capsule was which on her keychain, but she said she wasn't risking doing the whole thing with that.
Bound to be some other clever way to do it though.

If you go down the painting route I'd suggest keying the surface before painting to give better adhesion.
Blimey that's an expensive keyring
My cheapo one cost buttons about seven or eight years ago, and I've just clicked on it to try, and it still lights. I haven't refilled it in years either.

Better option I reckon, the peanuts are a bit fiddly. Handy for occasional back up on a key ring and fun little things, but very prone to blowing out in even a slight breeze, then you’re back to trying to flick the tiny flint wheel again.
