Product description
The Zippo Pink Matte (238) has no pictured artwork. The design is the finish itself: a smooth, solid matte-pink powder coat over a brass case. It is understated and tactile, and you can reserve one online and grab it the same day at El Paso Smoke Shops.
A finish that is the whole design
Zippo builds the 238 by electrostatically applying a matte-pink powder coat straight onto the brass case, so the color is the statement rather than a printed graphic. That soft matte surface hides fingerprints and shrugs off light scratches better than polished chrome or brass, which keeps it looking clean in a pocket or a bag. The only marks are Zippo’s own lasered five-barrel hinge and the stamped bottom, so the pink stays smooth and uninterrupted from lid to base.
Windproof, refillable, and stocked in El Paso
Under the color it is a genuine Zippo. The flame sits inside the signature chimney windscreen, so it stays lit in wind that snuffs a normal disposable lighter, and the all-brass Regular case snaps shut with that unmistakable Zippo click. It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, refills in seconds, and takes fresh flint and wick when needed, so one lighter lasts for years. We keep it on the shelf across El Paso Smoke Shops, so check store stock, reserve online, and pick yours up the same day with a valid 21+ photo ID at the counter.

Questions & Answers
What does the pink matte finish on the 238 look like up close?
There is no pictured artwork. The design is the finish: a smooth, solid matte-pink powder coat applied electrostatically over the brass case. It is a soft, non-glossy pink accented only by Zippo's lasered hinge and bottom stamp, so it reads as understated and tactile rather than a loud graphic. The matte surface also hides fingerprints better than polished chrome.
Does the Pink Matte 238 ship already filled with fuel?
No. Like every Zippo, it ships with an empty tank because fuel cannot be shipped inside the lighter. You fill it once before the first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which the wick and windscreen are built around. Fluid is sold separately, so plan to add it before you spark the 238 for the first time.
Is the powder-coated Pink Matte Zippo genuinely windproof?
Yes, it is genuinely wind-resistant. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney windscreen that shelters it while still feeding it air, so a well-fueled 238 stays lit in stiff wind that would snuff a normal disposable lighter. In a very strong gust any open flame can be pushed around, so it is best called highly wind-resistant rather than immune to a gale.
How do I refill the 238 without scuffing its matte powder-coat?
Because the pink powder-coat only lives on the shell, servicing never disturbs the finish. Lift the insert from its case and peel back the felt pad to reach the packing, then wet it with Zippo premium lighter fluid to a damp, not dripping, level. A weak spark means a new flint through the base screw; a low flame means threading a new wick.
Does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover the Pink Matte 238?
It covers the lighter's function, summed up as "it works or we fix it free." If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and they repair the working parts at no charge. We sell the lighter and Zippo performs the repair. The guarantee does not cover the matte-pink finish or everyday surface scratches.
What is the 238's case built from and where is it made?
The 238 uses Zippo's all-brass Regular case finished with a matte-pink powder coat, and it is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters since 1932. It is a solid all-metal lighter that weighs about 2 ounces and closes with the signature Zippo click.
Is the Pink Matte Zippo legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. A refillable flame lighter like the Zippo Pink Matte is legal to buy in Texas. At El Paso Smoke Shops we sell it only to guests 21 or older, and we check a valid government-issued photo ID at the counter when you pick it up. It is a flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device.
Is the matte-pink 238 finish better than a polished chrome Zippo for gifting?
For an easygoing, low-maintenance gift, yes. The matte-pink powder coat hides fingerprints and light scratches that show quickly on a polished chrome or high-polish brass case, so it keeps a clean look with less fuss. It also arrives in a Zippo gift box. If the person prefers a bright mirror shine, a polished Zippo suits them better.
Sales restricted to guests 21 or older; valid government-issued photo ID is required at pickup. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty with no fuel in the tank, so premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before the first use. Use responsibly and keep away from children.
