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.
Color code

When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo
retailer, make sure you have the right color.
Use the paint code indicated on the model
plate (1 in the illustration).
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
•

•

•

•
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.
