Smart Lava Orange Metallic (EDB) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You didn't choose this color to hide in traffic. Since your Fortwo has been zipping through tight city streets for several years, it has likely collected a few battle scars from parallel parking and road debris. This shade was the signature of the third-generation redesign, offering a high-energy punch that perfectly suits the car's small footprint. It is a loud, confident orange that creates a sharp contrast against a black or silver Tridion safety cell.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Smart Lava Orange Metallic (check for code EDB), you need to know it is a true metallic finish. Those tiny particles are what give the car its glowing depth under the sun. Metallic paints are more sensitive than solid colors because the flakes tend to settle or bunch up. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the color will appear darker or "mottled," which ruins the uniform glow of the orange.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Because those metallic flakes are heavy, they sink to the bottom of the container while it sits on your shelf. Shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the pigments and flakes are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to check that the orange is bright and the flake distribution is even. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid puddles and work in the shade so the drying time remains consistent across the repair area.
