2. Light sanding with a very fine-grained
sandpaper or similar may be required
before painting (e.g. if there are uneven
edges). Clean the area carefully and let it
dry.
3. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it
with a small brush, toothpick or similar.
When the primer is dry, apply one or more
coats of paint and then a clear coat, letting
the paint dry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the same
procedure as above, but first mask off the sur-
rounding area to protect the undamaged paint.
Touch-up pens/sticks and spray paint are
available at Volvo retailers.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not gone down to the
bare metal and an undamaged coat of
paint remains, apply base coat and clear
coat immediately after cleaning the sur-
face.
