Product description
The Zippo Trippy Psychedelic 540 Color lighter (model 49435) is a genuine windproof, refillable brass Zippo wrapped from edge to edge in a full-color psychedelic scene: a rainbow-bearded figure ringed by magic mushrooms growing out of vintage phonographs. The artwork is applied with Zippo’s 540 Color process, the case is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and every lighter carries the Zippo lifetime guarantee. It arrives empty in a Zippo gift box, ready to fill. Check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it in stock.
The Psychedelic Art That Wraps the Whole Case
The design is what sets the 49435 apart. A rainbow-bearded character sits at the center while magic mushrooms spill out of old-school phonograph horns, all rendered in saturated, kaleidoscopic color. Because this is a 540 Color piece, the graphic does not stop at the front panel. It continues across both sides and the back for one continuous, wrap-around image, so there is no plain brass face and no seam where the art cuts off. It reads as a true collector and conversation piece rather than a stamped logo.
What the 540 Color Process Actually Is
540 Color is Zippo’s in-house printing technology, named for the way it decorates all the way around the case for a single unbroken design. The graphic is printed on a patented film with a tough, scratch-resistant top layer, which is what lets the artwork resist fading and flaking through everyday pocket carry. The result is full-color, photo-grade detail that a traditional engraved or single-panel imprint cannot reproduce. The decoration is cosmetic only; underneath it is the same all-metal Zippo case and insert that the brand has built for decades.
Windproof, Refillable, and Built to Be Kept
Under the art is a classic-size solid brass case with the standard Zippo windproof insert. The chimney windscreen around the wick is what keeps the flame burning in wind, so it lights reliably outdoors where a basic lighter would blow out. It is fully refillable and serviceable: saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, swap the flint when the spark weakens with replacement flints, and fit a replacement wick when the old one chars down. With those three consumables it is a lighter you refill for years rather than throw away. It is a flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device.
The Zippo Lifetime Guarantee
Every windproof Zippo, including the 49435, is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and Zippo repairs it at no charge for the mechanical work. The guarantee is Zippo’s and Zippo performs the repair. We sell and stock the lighter here in El Paso; the lifetime repair is honored by Zippo, not by the shop. The guarantee covers the lighter’s mechanism, not the decorative 540 Color wrap or normal cosmetic wear.

Questions & Answers
What is the design on the Zippo Trippy 540 Color lighter (49435)?
The 49435 shows a rainbow-bearded figure surrounded by magic mushrooms growing out of vintage phonographs, in a vivid psychedelic style. Because it is a 540 Color lighter, that artwork wraps continuously around the front, sides, and back of the case as one unbroken image rather than sitting on a single panel.
Does the Zippo 49435 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, the 49435 ships and is sold with an empty tank, so you fill it before first use. Lift the felt pad inside the insert, saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until it is damp but not overfilled, then reassemble and wipe off any excess before lighting.
Will the 540 Color psychedelic wrap scratch off or fade?
The 540 Color graphic is printed on a patented film with a tough, scratch-resistant barrier that is built to resist fading and flaking through normal pocket carry. It holds up well to everyday handling, though like any printed surface it is a cosmetic finish and is not covered by Zippo's mechanical repair guarantee.
How does a windproof Zippo like the 49435 stay lit outdoors?
The insert has a perforated chimney windscreen around the wick. It shelters the flame and feeds it a steady amount of fuel, so the lighter keeps burning in wind that would blow out an open-flame lighter. One trade-off is that you cannot puff it out from the side; close the lid or blow straight down from the top to extinguish it.
What does the Zippo lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Every windproof Zippo carries the lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and Zippo repairs the mechanical work at no charge. The guarantee is Zippo's and Zippo performs the repair; it covers the mechanism, not the 540 Color wrap or normal cosmetic wear.
How do I keep the Zippo 49435 working over time?
Refill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid whenever the flame weakens, and keep the lid closed since the fuel evaporates over time. When the spark fades, drop in fresh replacement flints, and when the wick chars down and stops lighting cleanly, fit a replacement wick. With those basics it stays a daily-carry lighter for years.
Sold to adults 21 and older only; valid government-issued ID required at pickup. This is a genuine Zippo windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships and is sold with an empty fuel tank; premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before first use. The lifetime guarantee is Zippo's, and Zippo performs any free mechanical repair at its Bradford, Pennsylvania repair clinic; El Paso Smoke Shops sells and stocks the lighter.
