Only Black White and Yellow are Green.

My understanding of the smart finish is that the metallics are painted black panels and that only yellow, white and black are molded-in colors. Funny then that this article in Modern Plastics uses the red 451 photo from the smart website.

I really wanted to get red untill I found out it was painted and uh... well ... nevermind.;)

Yeah, I also had the wrong info from another review stating that the plastic was colored through and through using a red car - doesn't seem like Smart spelled that out to well for them..

Yeah, this review didn't differentiate it.

Ok, now you have me leaning back towards white ... it's a good thing I haven't confirmed yet. I like the silver and blue; but not having to touch it up and just being able to replace it is appealing.

White/Black/Leather but I was hugging a yellow last night and I really like black cars so it will probably come down to my mood on the day I (EVENTUALLY!) get invited to configure.

The yellow/silver looks surpringly sharp. And I don't like yellow generally.
