2019 Smart Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Smart Vibe

By 2019, the Smart Fortwo was basically a high-tech shoebox on wheels, and it came dressed in a surprising array of finishes. While the rest of the world was drowning in a sea of boring grayscale, Smart was out here leaning into 14 different flavors. We're talking about high-energy hits like Indian Yellow Tricoat and Electric Green Metallic, alongside the more sophisticated Terra Brown Pearl. It was a weird, colorful time to be on the road, even if you were the smallest thing on it.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Thin Paint Era. By 2019, the factory robots had become so efficient they could practically stretch a thimble of paint across an entire fleet. This "robotic precision" means your clear coat is harder and glossier than ever, but it's also thinner than a Tuesday morning paycheck. On a car as low to the ground as the Fortwo, that thinness is a liability. Your front end is a literal magnet for road debris, and once a stone pierces that brittle clear layer, the edges can start to lift. If you're seeing "white spots" or little craters in your Lava Orange Metallic, that's the robot's stinginess coming back to haunt you.

Restoration Tip

Because this paint is applied in such tight, thin layers, you can't just go at a chip with a heavy hand. If you "blob" a repair on a 2019 finish, it'll stick out like a sore thumb because the factory depth is so shallow. The secret is patience: build your repair in multiple whisper-thin layers rather than one big drop. Let each layer tack up so it shrinks down naturally. This mimics that tight factory "film build" and keeps the repair level with the rest of the panel. Don't rush it, or you'll end up with a high spot that no amount of buffing can hide.
