Touching up minor paint damage
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 authorized Volvo
service technician for any extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using
Volvo touch-up paint.

When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo
retailer, make sure you have the right color.

plate (1 in the illustration).
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
•
Primer – can
•
Paint – touch-up pen
•
Brush
•
Masking tape
G020345
NOTE
When touching up the vehicle, it should be
clean and dry. The surface temperature
should be above 60° F (15° C).
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
1.
Place a strip of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Pull the tape off so that any
loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
2.
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 applica-
tion.
3.
If there is a longer scratch, you may want
to protect surrounding paint by masking it
off.
