I currently have a Smart that's a yellow/silver cell, and I really like the grey they came out with... How much did it cost to remove the panels?

A full set is around $1.000 (a bit less for MIC, a bit more for metallic like the new grey) plus workmanship. It should be about two hours, less for experts.
See also the other threads for cheaper sets (around $700).

Ahhhh - looks like Zippy will be possibly wearing some make up - eh?

I've been through 11 different color combinations between my 2 cars. I've also been seen driving my parent's smart. Now anytime someone sees a smart in town they automatically assume it is me when in reality there are two other smarts in town. We only have a population of something around 500 people and there are 5 smarts in town. 3 are in my family and the other 2 are in another family.

In about 6 months I'll have a new color - not going to say what it is but it is brighter than the orange metallic.

Swatching is easy!!

Hmmm...Metallic Gray this time?

Sooooo many colors, they should offer swatches like at the paint store.
Little pieces of panel for you to take home and decide what you want
