Where to find Smart color code

How to Find Your Smart's Color Code

Smart color code locations: on the drivers door jamb, on the radiator support, or on the cowling under the hood. If the code is not found, Smart can be contacted to see if they can determine the color code. If there is no color code, alternatives include the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number.

Your Paint Color Profile

Rally Red

The Look

This color is the heart and soul of the Smart Fortwo. It is a bold, high-visibility red that transforms the car from a simple commuter into a punchy city icon. Because your Smart has likely spent the last decade navigating tight streets and open parking lots, the original finish has almost certainly faced heavy UV exposure. Red is famously sensitive to the sun, so do not be surprised if your fresh repair looks a bit deeper than the existing panels. You are restoring the vibrancy that time and weather have started to thin out.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearl shifts hidden in this pigment, which is actually a significant advantage for a DIY repair. Solid colors are much easier to blend than metallics because you do not have to worry about the "flop" or the way light hits the aluminum particles. However, because there is no sparkle to hide your work, any texture or unevenness will stand out. This paint is unforgiving toward heavy layers, so your goal is to build the color gradually to keep the surface as flat as possible.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and check the sticker on the jamb to confirm you have the right match. Before you spray or dab Smart Rally Red (check for code ECF/CC0L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up the heavy red pigments. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the car to see how it reacts to your specific lighting. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or running. If you are working in your garage or in the shade, give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish stays crisp and level.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Smart Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Smart's color code is 'ECF/CC0L', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Smart, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
