Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone of you out there can help me with this project.

I have always wanted Pyro's shark zippo from X-Men 2. :D

However, it seems Zippo will never manufactor that zippo design :( , so I have decided to make one myself! I have some artistic background (meaning I can draw lines and circles without screwing up), but I am not familiar with painting on metal. My big question is what material should I use for "engraving" the shark design? I don't want my colors to flake or scratch off easily. Thanks. Oh, I will provide pictures once I complete the project.
 
maybe you could electo chem etch the zippo.The ones we use to mark our knives would work for the black lines. not sure about color.
