Smart Crystal White (EAZ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Fortwo isn't just a commuter car; it is a design statement, and choosing this specific white proves you appreciate the details. Unlike the flat, refrigerator-style whites found on most basic hatchbacks, this finish has a sophisticated depth that catches the sunlight and follows the compact curves of your Smart car. Since your vehicle has navigated tight city streets and parallel parking spots for a few years, those small stone chips can break the illusion of that clean, seamless silhouette. Touching them up now prevents the bright finish from looking tired and keeps the car looking fresh.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny particles suspended in the paint to create its signature shimmer. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will clump together, creating dark patches or "mottling" that looks like a smudge rather than a shine. To avoid this, you need to focus on thin layers. This allows the metallic flakes to lay flat and even across the surface. Because it is a bright white, any dirt or grease left on the panel will show through the translucent layers, so ensure the area is scrubbed clean before you begin.

Best Practices

You can usually find the manufacturer sticker on your driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Smart Crystal White (check for code EAZ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up the metallic flakes and ensure a consistent mix. Do not guess the match while the paint is wet; instead, test the color on the included card and let it dry to see the final result. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too quickly and becoming bumpy. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to maintain a smooth flow and allow for adequate drying time between each light coat.
