Five dazzling new colors complement Zippo’s rainbow palette of PVD and
matte lighters. Candy Apple Red and Cool Kiwi are translucent powder
coats that allow the lighter finish to show through. Basic black is back
in a rich semi-gloss finish on Licorice. Purple Shimmer sparkles in a
metallic powder coat, and Pink Matte blushes with color.
The bottom stamp assures the authenticity of every Zippo lighter. In
2003, Zippo began lasering the powder coating off the bottom of all
matte lighters to reveal the Zippo logo and date code information.
