Paint touch up
Model plate with paint color code
Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly – when washing the vehicle for instance. Touch-up if necessary.
Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for any extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
Color code
Make sure you have the right color. The color code number is on the model plate in the engine compartment.
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
• 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 surface
If 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.
Deep scratches
• Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged
surface. Pull the tape off so that any
loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
• Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with
a small brush. 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.
If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
