Paint Code Guide

Where to find your Smart paint code

The factory colour code that gives your Smart its exact colour — find it once and order a perfect-match touch-up.

On most Smart models the paint code is on a sticker in the driver-side door jamb, next to Lack / Code. The code there — for example EAV — is your colour. Copy it exactly.

Where the paint code label is located on the car
Open the driver's door and look at the door jamb — the pillar the latch closes against.
Lack / Code EAV
The highlighted value is your paint colour — here EAV. Copy it exactly; ignore any trim code.

If it's not there

  • Under the bonnet — strut towers or slam panel.
  • Glovebox, or the boot near the spare wheel.
  • Service book or your original paperwork.
