This is exactly what I wanted. The colors were bright and the painting was beautiful. I had to remove a star because the hinge had some paint on it. I've bought 2 Zippos on Amazon and both had paint on the hinge, even though they state that they laser the paint off the hinge for a cleaner look. Otherwise, great buy!As you'd expect, the build of the lighter is of consistently high Zippo quality. No surprises there. Cheers all around.I am, however, impressed beyond expectation with the paint job. It is thick, smooth, and completely free of imperfections like bubbles, or particles beneath the paint, or other such errors often found in painted products. All of the detailing on the skull is embossed, as well. This is a pocket-sized piece of art. Art that burns things.I could not be happier. I'll be taking very good care of this lighter.I've never received a bad Zippo, and this one is no different! This baby comes in a bright yellow Lemon finish with a vibrant sugar skull baked onto the front, so it won't be 'coming off' anytime soon. The best part? This lighter (along with ALL Zippo lighters) is backed by a lifetime guarantee. So, in the unlikely event that your Zippo needs repairing, you can send it to Zippo and they will fix it then send it right back to you for FREE!I'm telling you, it doesn't get much better than that!Looks just like picture if not better. It's a Zippo does it really need a review? Zippo's stand the test of time. I don't know if those who say the color is off or not as bright or pictured got a bad paint job or a fake; but mine came just as pictured very bright and colorful all paint no stickers. Purchased one for a friend that wouldn't leave mine alone.I absolutely love the zippo!!! It is a tad bit lighter then pictured but not by much! Functions perfectly and all in all great buy! If you loved the picture you will love the lighter! I also live zippos and have not had one in a long time so I am happy with it!I have attatched pics so you can see the yellow. I just recieved this 10/22/2014This lighter is as cute and eye-grabbing in real life as it looks in this picture! You'll certainly never have to worry about someone absently pocketing your lighter, thinking it's theirs. And like all Zippos, it works great and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It also came in this really swanky little box, which is perfect if you want to give it as a gift (which I did). All in all, a very satisfactory purchase!Nice smooth regular yellow zippo lighter, and the skull design is one sided only. Also, the skull design has definition (you can feel the edges of the skull, teeth and eye sockets). And I recommend getting it from Stealth Rabbit who delivers it quickly and free and have other large selection of zippo lighters.My big beef with this lighter is that the colors on the actual lighter are weak. The bright yellow that you see in the photograph is actually a pale yellow in reality and the other colors also appear very pale. In my opinion that is a major detraction from the value of the lighter. Other than that its a great lighter, just as one expects from Zippo.The Zippo arrived in a nice little Zippo Box within a larger generic cardboard packaging, I'm not a professional but it certainly seems genuine. The colours themselves are pretty vibrant, something I was worried about. They certainly live up to the colours in the photo and what's more... If you cover the teeth of the skull with a finger and hold it upside down, turns out it also makes a pretty cool kitty.Overall the build quality is what you'd expect from a Zippo, it seems very hardy. The sound when you open and close it is as satisfying as always and after a few drops and daily usage for a few weeks the paint is still good as new. The only drawback is the frequency with which you have to refill it with fuel (once or twice a week), a problem for all Zippo lighters as it evaporates easily. Would recommend this purchase.Arrived on time (as always with prime). Not had a zippo before, had become fed up with cheapo lighters failing too quickly, so thought I'd give a proper lighter a go. Well, love the design, perfect size for my small hands and worked first time! Watched YouTube vids on how to maintain, seems simply enough, so very pleased. ;)The design on this lighter really pops out of the candy yellow finish background. I wouldn't usually go for such a bright and vibrant lighter however this just looks amazing. The design is very detailed and full of colour. You won't be disappointed!Of course this is a zippo so can be fully relied on!Every time I use this some one asks me where I hot it, holds it and tells me they are going to get one. There are now about four regularly seen near by. It is great as a present too. Would recommend this to anyone who smokes or is just into arson in a colourful way!!!I love this lighter. Have it had it about six months now and looks as good as it did on day one.The only downside is having to refill it often. But I think you'd find the same with any zippo if you don't use them very often.
