Paint code on the model plate1
Paint damage requires immediate attention to
avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish
regularly, for instance washing the vehicle.
Touch-up if necessary.Paint repairs require special equipment and
skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any exten-
sive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using
Volvo touch-up paint.
Color codeMake sure you have the right color. The color
code number is stated on the model plate.
Minor stone chips and scratchesMaterial:
•Primer – can
•Paint – touch-up pen
•Brush
•Masking tape
If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare
metal and an undamaged color coat remains,
you can add paint immediately after removing
dirt.
NOTE
When touching up the vehicle, it should be
clean and dry. The surface temperature
should be above 60 °F (15 °C).
Minor scratches on the surfaceIf the stone chip has not penetrated down to
the metal and an undamaged layer of paint
remains, the touch-up paint can be applied as
soon as the spot has been cleaned.

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Pull the tape off so that any
loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with
a small brush.
3. When the primer surface is dry, the paint
can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint
thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats
and let dry after each application.
