Paint touch up
Touching up minor paint damage
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 your Volvo retailer for any
extensive damage. Minor scratches can be
repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
