Paint touch-up

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly, for instance when washing the car. 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 service label. The label is located on the wheel housing in the engine compartment.

Material:

Primer – can

Paint – can or touch-up bottle

Note: When touching-up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60 ° F (+15 ° C).

Scars 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 scars

If the stone chip has 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.
