Mod Description Is your smart wearing its original panels? Want to find out smart's code for your particular panel colour? acknowledgement to The Almost Invisible Man Mod Details Premium No Difficulty Mod ID 635 Credit Various For Link https://evilution.co.uk/mod/smart-paint-codes.htm Copy to Clipboard For tables of panel colours by year click here! Did you buy your smart secondhand and think the panels have been changed? Want to know what colour the original panels were? Or did the dealer tell you your smart was being especially made for you in Hambach, all fresh and shiny, and you don’t believe him? Like me, you may think that in actual fact your smart was sitting in a field for a while and they just swapped the panels over. There is a way to find out what colour the original panels were! Oh good, I hear you cry! How? Somewhere on the car is a sticker. It’s usually either under the carpet in the boot or on the door shut. On the left hand side, you should see a sticker with your engine’s VIN, a bar code and a picture of a headlight on it. You should be able to see a six-digit code beneath where it says ‘Made in France’. For example: This code tells you the original Tridion colour and panel colour (in that order). The first three digits of the code tell you the tridion colour. smart’s codes are as follows: smart’s® Code Colour Paint Code EB1 Anthracite pearl-effect (Tridion) C16L EB1 Schwarz ‘black’ (Tridion) C46L EB1 Schwarz neu ‘new black’ (Tridion) C47L EB2 Silver metallic (Tridion) C02L EB2 Tridion Silver metallic (Tridion) C49L EB3 White ? EB3U Deep Black (Tridion) (forfour) C95L EB4U Pure Silver metallic (Tridion) (forfour) C96L EB5U Pebble Stone metallic (Tridion) (forfour) C97L EB6 Edition Red Brabus Fortwo Ferrari W300 rosso corsa Yes, some of the codes are duplicated – probably just smart being unimaginative.As you can see from the pictures of our smart car codes above, one of us has a black tridion, and one has a silver tridion. The second three digits of the code tell you the panel colour. The table below shows all known colours: smart’s® Code Colour Paint Code EA1 Mad Red C03L EA2 Lite White C04L EA3 Hello Yellow C05L EA4 Jack Black C21L EA40 Jet Black C55L EA5 Aqua Green C08L EA6 True Blue C22L EA7 Aqua Orange C07L EA8 Phat Red (fortwo) C36L EA80 Phat Red (forfour) C67L EA9 Stream Green C43L EAA Numeric Blue C54L EAB Aqua Vanilla C09L EAC Bay Grey metallic C44L EAD River Silver metallic C50L EAE Scratch Black C84L EAF (450) Star blue pearlescent C85L EAH Spice Red C56L EAI Glance Grey metallic C59L EAJ Champagne Remix metallic C58L EAK Champagne C88L EAL Shine Yellow C57L EAN Ice White C69L EAP Flame Red metallic C91L EAQ Deep Green pearlescent C93L EAR Melon metallic C92L EAS Starlight Silver metallic C80L EAT Speed Silver metallic CA0L EAU Black Fury metallic (aka Flare black) C70L EAV Ruby Red pearlescent C72L Brilliant Silver metallic C14L Titan Grey metallic matt C94L Grey matt C17L EAO Graphite Blue C68L EAF (452) Star Blue metallic C99L Trinity metallic C73L Dolphin Grey pearlescent CA2L Vivid Orange CA3L Anthracite black C22A Silver matt metallic (alloys) C32L Dark Grey matt C98L EAW Brabus Edition Red As you can see from the above pictures, both our cars originally had jack black panels, meaning that the numeric blue panels now on one of the cars are not the originals. Which in a way could be good as the panels therefore haven’t been sitting in a field for months. Damn dealer making people feel special thinking they are getting a brand new car and all they’re getting is a brand new set of panels, (grumble grumble….)So, there you go. Anyone know what happened to EAG, EAM?? It would also be good if you’d let me know the codes for any of those colours listed above (particularly the forfour ones) that I haven’t got codes for. Would be much appreciated. If you have any of the new special edition colours like pink or British racing green I would be interested to see if you have specific codes for them or if they are just re-shelled old smarts, re-panelled to sell.

What If My Code/Colour Isn’t Listed? It’s not unusual for people to change panels so the colour no longer matches the sticker on the car. On these occasions, you’ll have to work out what standard colour they changed it to. However, some smart HQs in different countries have a trick for selling cars that they can’t shift. They take a load of smarts, usually in boring colours that just don’t sell that well and they send the cars off to a spray shop to have the panels resprayed in an unusual (non standard) colour.

ng colours that just don’t sell that well and they send the cars off to a spray shop to have the panels resprayed in an unusual (non standard) colour. They then sell them as a special edition. The problem is that, because the car didn’t leave the factory, smart GmbH don’t know what colours are used. The people who decide on the colours for these country-specific special edition colours don’t bother noting the colour codes used and, by the time you need to know the colour, this person has probably left the company. So, the probability of finding out the colour code is absolute zero. So, what can you do? You Have 2 Options Spectophotometer Take the car to a car paint specialist. Good paint specialists will have a spectrophotometry camera. This camera is held against the body of the car and camera determines the exact colour. The software spits out the colour mix required to recreate the paint precisely. This is also handy if you have faded paint. Paint changes colour slight over the years due to UV damage. You could get a paint that should match but it could be way off when applied. Closest Paint Colour Instead of custom made paints, you can get a colour sensor that will give you a list of available paint codes that are as close as it can get to the colour you have. Personally, I have the NIX Mini 2 color sensor and it does a fairly good job. However, they do a range depending on how accurate you want to be (or how filthy rich you are). EAI used for the Urbanstyle 451 is the same code as Glance Grey Metallic on the Roadster. Online comparisons are inconclusive as to if these are actually the same colour. EAA used for Active Blue Metallic on the 451 is the same code as Numeric Blue on the 450. (Thanks Clive M ).
