Repair materials
Volvo's original colors should be used if possible, but as the situation may occur that the recommended paint materials are not available from stock, we have produced a list of the stock carried by the major paint producers for paint work repairs to Volvo cars.
The list contains the producers' own recommendations and the products below are not guaranteed or stocked by Volvo.
The respective producer should be contacted if more information on any of the products is required.

Note! Always follow the producers' recommendations and do not mix the different producers' systems.

The increased demands for color range, water-based and pearl, worker protection, reduced air pollution and clearer directions on the labels from the paint suppliers, has led to Volvo Car Corporation changing their previous policy regarding the original color concept. We have also discovered that the paint mixers in the market place are of a better quality than previously. Therefore, Volvo accepts these for painting cars during the guarantee period.
It is thought important that each paint supplier is individually responsible for the color matching and the quality, as well as for any complaints.
