Volvo Paint Codes & Touch Up Paint Guide

Need your Volvo paint code? Use the full manufacturer paint code and check it against the model and year. Registration details can help narrow the vehicle information before the colour is confirmed.

Touch Up Car Paint supplies UK-mixed Volvo touch up paint in pens, bottles and aerosols for models including C30, S40, S60, S90, V40, V60, XC40, XC60 and XC90.

Where can I find a Volvo paint code?

Paint-code label positions vary by vehicle generation. Check manufacturer labels around the door apertures and body identification areas, the engine bay and vehicle documentation. Record the complete reference rather than only the colour name.

Why the full code matters

Manufacturers can use related colour names and variants across different years. The complete code combined with the model and production year is a more reliable matching reference.

Why can Volvo colours vary?

Metallic and pearl orientation, production variation, paint age, weathering and previous body repairs can alter how a finish looks. Test the mixed paint before the main repair.

Pen, bottle or aerosol?

Use a pen for chips and fine scratches, a bottle for larger controlled local repairs and an aerosol for wider prepared areas. Primer and lacquer may be required depending on the substrate and paint system.

Volvo paint code FAQ

Can registration identify my Volvo colour?

It helps identify the exact vehicle and narrow the likely manufacturer colour information. Confirm the paint code where possible.

Is the VIN the paint code?

No. The VIN identifies the vehicle; the paint code is a separate colour reference.

Should I test the colour before repair?

Yes. A discreet test is recommended, particularly for metallic and pearl finishes.
