2007 Volvo V70
Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.
Color code
Make sure you have the right color. When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, use the
paint code indicated on the model plate (1 in the illustration above).
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.
