Smart ForTwos have powder coated chassis. The silver powder coat looks like silver metalic paint.

I got my chassis done in silver - it's sort of a satin gloss which actually suits it well. Almost exactly the same as Silver Smoothrite so touch ups don't show too much (handy for the 'oops' factor)

Mate of mine had his chassis done in silver. When first done it was very shiny and metallic. Over the months it's become more and more silver grey.

this is one of my front hubs



its sliver powdercoat, but without the clear top coat so its more silver/grey (I don't know much about it, but the guy doing it reconed it wouldn't be tough enough)

ignore the red - its just paint
