Smart Mountain Gray Metallic (EN9) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Fortwo has likely entered its sophisticated era, and this finish is the reason why. While older models often leaned into bright, toy-like colors, this shade gives the car a more premium, mature presence. It is a deep, modern gray that manages to look expensive even on a subcompact frame. Because it sits right in the middle of the value scale, it is incredibly forgiving when it comes to road salt and dust, making it the ideal choice for a daily commuter that lives in the city. Since your car has likely been on the road for a few years now, you might notice that the finish holds its depth well, provided you keep the clearcoat healthy.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, packed with fine aluminum flakes that catch the light to create a sense of three-dimensional depth. This complexity makes it look great, but it does introduce a specific challenge for your repair. If the metallic flakes are not distributed evenly, you will end up with mottling, which looks like dark or cloudy patches in the paint. Before you spray or dab Smart Mountain Gray Metallic (check for code EN9), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those flakes are fully suspended in the resin. Getting the mix right is the difference between a repair that disappears and one that looks like a smudge.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb, usually on a black VIN sticker near the bottom. Before you start the actual repair in your garage or a patch of shade, always test the color on the included card. This confirms the shade and gives you a feel for the flow of the product. When applying, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metallic particles from pooling in one spot. If you are using a can, maintain a consistent spray distance to ensure the flakes land flat and reflect light evenly. Once you finish, allow for plenty of drying time before applying your clearcoat to lock in that metallic shimmer.
