Here you will find Zippo lighters from various collections and motifs that have a matte colored finish. Zippo lighters with a matte colored finish first appeared in 1984 in the black version. The metal case of the lighter is covered with powder paint that is resistant to abrasion, does not shine, does not shimmer and therefore does not leave fingerprints. On the bottom of the lighter, the paint is finally removed by laser so that the embossed Zippo logo is clearly visible. Furthermore, the paint is also removed by laser from the hinge to ensure smooth operation (opening and closing) of the lid.
Very often, this colored surface is combined with a colored print on the front with various motifs from music groups, singers or animals, to logos of various brands, motorbikes or cars. In the group of lighters with a matte surface, we can also find Zippo Black Crackle , which is a special finish that was developed for lighters that were equipped with US Army soldiers during World War II. The great advantage of the matte finish is a wide range of color variants, color stability, protection of the lighter case from corrosion and a soft-to-the-touch surface that does not attract fingerprints.
