Smart Light Blue Metallic (EAA/CC6L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color gave the Fortwo a much-needed lift when it debuted for the 2011 model year. While the older blues felt a bit utilitarian, this shade adds a layer of depth that changes depending on how the sun hits those tight body curves. Since your car has spent its life navigating tight city streets and narrow parking spots, you are probably dealing with some battle scars on the fenders or mirrors. Fixing these spots helps maintain that crisp aesthetic that makes the micro-car look premium rather than just practical.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny particles to reflect light. Light-colored metallics are prone to a phenomenon called mottling, where the flakes gather in uneven clusters. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, you will see dark shadows or stripes that ruin the factory look. The goal is to get the flakes to lay down flat and even, which requires patience and a light touch.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Smart Light Blue Metallic (check for code EAA/CC6L), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to distribute the metallic flakes. You can find your specific paint code on a sticker located on the driver-side door jamb near the latch. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your specific panels before you start. When applying the paint in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the liquid from pooling. Allow plenty of drying time between your layers to let the finish level out.
