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 a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for any
extensive damage.

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
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint. 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.
