Zippo Heart Design Color Image Black Matte Windproof Lighter (48719)

The Zippo Heart Design Color Image Black Matte Windproof Lighter (model 48719) is a refillable brass pocket lighter from Zippo’s Color Image Love & Hearts line. The Black Matte case carries a bold, high-contrast abstract heart printed straight onto the finish, so the artwork reads clean against the deep matte background. It is windproof, it is built to be refilled and carried for years, and it arrives empty by design, so you add your own premium lighter fluid before the first light. Our Hosts stock and handle this Zippo across our El Paso stores, and the page above shows live in-store stock so you can see which location has it before you drive over.

The Heart Design and How Color Image Works

The Heart Design belongs to Zippo’s Color Image collection, the company’s printed-graphics line, and sits within the Love & Hearts theme that Zippo keeps in rotation for gifting. The graphic is a stylized, high-contrast heart rather than a literal red valentine, which is why it pairs so well with the blacked-out matte case. Color Image is a printing method: the artwork is applied to the lighter with UV-cured inks bonded directly to the case surface, which keeps colors sharp and resists the smudging you would get from a sticker or decal. That printed layer is part of the finish, and like every Zippo finish it is meant to be enjoyed and will show character with daily pocket carry over time.

Black Matte Finish and Brass Build

Underneath the artwork is a Classic-case Zippo made from solid brass, the same shell shape Zippo has produced in Bradford, Pennsylvania for decades. The Black Matte look comes from a powder coat applied to the brass, giving a flat, no-shine, grippy surface that hides fingerprints far better than polished chrome. It is a genuine windproof Zippo: the trademarked click on open and close, the hinged lid, and the wind-resistant chimney are all here. The result is a substantial, pocket-sized lighter that weighs in around 82 grams, so it has the reassuring heft collectors and everyday carriers expect.

Windproof, Refillable, and Backed for Life by Zippo

Zippo lighters stay lit in wind because the chimney and flame basket shield the wick and meter fuel at a steady rate, which is what makes them a go-to outdoors. This one is fully refillable, so it is not a throwaway: you top it up with Zippo premium lighter fluid and keep using the same lighter indefinitely. It also carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee on the working mechanism, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free of charge. Note that the guarantee covers function, not appearance: the printed Color Image artwork and the matte finish are not warrantied against everyday scratches or wear. We sell and stock the lighter; Zippo honors the repair.

Keeping It Lit: Fuel, Flints, and Wick

A new Zippo ships empty for safe transport, so plan to fill it before the first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid. After that, three simple consumables keep it going: fuel, flint, and wick. Fluid evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so a quick top-up before a night out is normal. The flint wears down with regular striking and is the most common thing to swap, which is why we carry replacement flints. The wick slowly chars and shortens over many lights; trim it a couple times a year and eventually drop in a replacement wick. With those basics on hand, a Zippo this build quality outlasts a drawer full of disposables.
