Paint touch-up
Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly;
when washing the car for instance. Touch up if necessary. Paint repairs require special equipment and
skill. Contact your Volvo dealer for any extensive damages.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo dealer, use the paint code indicated on the
model plate. The plate is located on the panel above the right-side head lights.
NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be cleaned and dry. The surface temperature should be
above 60°F (+15°C).
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
Primer - can
Paint - touch-up bottle
Masking tape
Brush
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-
up paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
If the stone chip has been penetrated down to the metal, proceed as follows:
1 Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of
paint adhere to it.
