Zippo Classic High Polish Green Zippo Logo Lighter (Chameleon) in El Paso
Sobre este producto
- Eye-catching iridescent green: a micro-thin, high-polish coating shifts the color from emerald to deep forest green as it moves in the light.
- Genuine windproof flame: the signature Zippo windscreen keeps the flame lit in gusts, on the patio, the trail, or a breezy El Paso evening.
- Built to refill, not replace: the all-metal brass case is refillable for life, so one lighter lasts for years instead of ending up in a drawer.
- That unmistakable Zippo click: a solid all-metal lid that opens and closes with the snap collectors know, with the engraved Zippo logo on the front.
- Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free, a promise Zippo has honored from Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932.
- Pocket-sized Classic case that arrives in a Zippo gift box, ready to give or to carry every day.
Descripción del producto
The Zippo Chameleon High Polish Green lighter (model 28129ZL) is a genuine Zippo windproof pocket lighter wrapped in a micro-thin, scratch-resistant coating that gives the brass case a deep iridescent green that shifts tone as it catches the light. It is refillable, carries the engraved Zippo logo, and is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee.

What makes the Chameleon finish special
The Chameleon name comes from how the High Polish Green coating behaves: a micro-thin, scratch-resistant layer sits over the polished brass and bends light into a deep, iridescent green that reads emerald in one moment and dark forest green the next. Because the coating is applied over a reflective base, Zippo notes that the exact shade can vary slightly from lighter to lighter, so no two are perfectly identical and the one you pick up in store is genuinely its own. The engraved Zippo logo on the front ties the design back to the company’s Bradford, Pennsylvania roots.
Windproof by design
Every 28129ZL is a genuine windproof Zippo, built around the all-metal Classic case and the signature windscreen that shields the flame from gusts, whether you are on a patio, on a trail, or out on a breezy El Paso evening. Open the lid and you get the unmistakable Zippo click; spin the flint wheel and the wick lights on demand. The brass case is refillable for life, so a single lighter is meant to be maintained and carried for years rather than thrown away.
Fueling and everyday care
This Zippo ships empty for shipping safety, so fuel it before the first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid (sold separately). Lift the insert from the case, slowly saturate the packing until the fluid reaches the top, and avoid overfilling so it does not leak. Keep the lid closed between uses, since the fuel evaporates over time even when the lighter sits unused. To protect the iridescent finish from everyday scuffs, carry it in a pocket of its own or a small pouch.
Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee
The 28129ZL carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee, famously stated as “it works or Zippo fixes it free.” George G. Blaisdell founded Zippo in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 and stood behind that promise, and it still holds today: if the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it free, regardless of its age. The guarantee covers the working parts, not the engraving or the surface finish, so treat the Chameleon coating with a little care.
The Zippo Chameleon High Polish Green (28129ZL) pairs a head-turning iridescent green finish with the dependable windproof flame and lifetime backing that made Zippo a collector staple. El Paso Smoke Shops carries it in select stores across our 10 El Paso, TX locations; check the live availability on this page to find the nearest store that has it in stock.

Preguntas y Respuestas
Does the green Chameleon finish look the same on every Zippo 28129ZL?
Not exactly, and that is part of the appeal. Zippo applies a micro-thin iridescent coating over the brass, so the High Polish Green shifts between emerald and deep forest green depending on the light and angle. Zippo notes the color may vary from unit to unit and may not look identical to a photo, so the 28129ZL you pick up in store is genuinely one of a kind.
Does the Chameleon coating scratch or wear off over time?
The 28129ZL uses a scratch-resistant coating designed to hold its shine through everyday carry, but no finish is scratch-proof. Owners who toss a lighter loose in a pocket with keys and coins report light surface marks over time, so a dedicated pocket or a small pouch keeps the iridescent green looking its best. Surface scratches and finish wear are cosmetic and are not covered by Zippo's repair guarantee.
Does this Zippo come filled with lighter fluid?
No. For shipping safety, every new Zippo ships empty, including the 28129ZL. Before the first light you will need to fuel it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which we sell separately. Lift the insert out of the case, slowly saturate the packing material, stop when it reaches the top, and never overfill or it can leak.
How often do the flint and wick need replacing on a Zippo?
With regular use, plan to swap the flint roughly every couple of weeks; keeping spare replacement flints on hand means you are never caught without a spark. The wick lasts far longer: trim the charred tip once or twice a year, and after a few trimmings install a replacement wick. Both parts thread back into the same all-metal insert, which is why a Zippo can last for decades.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee actually cover?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee is summed up as "it works or Zippo fixes it free." If the lighter ever stops sparking or holding a flame, you send it to Zippo and they repair the mechanism free of charge, no matter how old it is. We sell the lighter here in El Paso; Zippo honors the repair. The guarantee covers the working mechanism only, not the decorative engraving, emblems, or surface scratches on the Chameleon finish.
Is the Zippo Chameleon a good gift, and where can I buy one in El Paso?
Yes. The 28129ZL arrives in a Zippo gift box, and the color-shifting green finish with the engraved Zippo logo makes it a standout present for collectors or anyone who appreciates a dependable windproof flame. El Paso Smoke Shops is a 10-location chain, and we stock this model in select stores; check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it right now.
