Where to find Smart color code

How to Find Your 2018 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.

2018 Smart Background Info

The 2018 Smart Vibe

Welcome to 2018, where the Smart Fortwo was the ultimate urban escape pod. It was a time when "fitting in" meant literally fitting into half a parking space. While the rest of the world was drowning in a sea of boring crossovers, Smart was out here acting like a highlighter set. We've got 10 of their survivors in the vault, ranging from the stealthy Dark Gray Metallic (matt) to the "don't-run-over-me" Lava Orange Metallic and the high-maintenance Indian Yellow Tricoat. It was a playful era, but don't let the toy-car looks fool you-painting these things is a grown-up's game.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, salty truth: you're dealing with the Thin Paint Era. By 2018, the robots at the factory had become masters of "lean efficiency." They sprayed just enough paint to cover the panel and not a drop more. On a Smart, this is a double-edged sword. Those panels are mostly high-tech plastics, which is great for weight but terrible for paint longevity. Plastic panels flex when they get bumped or go through temperature swings, but the thin, brittle clear coat on top doesn't like to move. The result? "Spider-web" cracking or chips that seem to fly off if a pebble even looks at the bumper. If you've got the Rally Red or Indian Yellow, you're also fighting the sun; these modern pigments are vibrant, but they'll start to look "thirsty" and flat if they aren't sealed up tight.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2018 Smart, remember: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin, a giant "bead" of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. If you're working on those flexible plastic panels, use several paper-thin applications rather than one thick one. This gives the paint better adhesion and prevents the repair from cracking the first time the panel flexes. And for the love of the craft, if you're dealing with the Moon White Metallic or Indian Yellow Tricoat, take your time with the mid-coat-it's the depth, not the thickness, that makes the match.
