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.
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
Primer – can
Paint – can or touch-up bottle
Brush
Masking tape
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.
