Volvo Ice White (614) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You have the quintessential Swedish color. This shade defined the clean, utilitarian aesthetic of the early XC90 and the rugged V70 wagons that dominated suburban driveways for decades. Whether it is on a sleek S60 or a family-sized XC70, this color is clinical, bright, and strictly professional. It doesn't try to be flashy with sparkles or shifts; instead, it provides a high-contrast backdrop that makes the black trim and chrome accents of your Volvo pop. Because it has been a staple of the lineup for so long, your car carries a look that is both timeless and extremely common, making it a favorite for those who value a crisp, "just-washed" appearance.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is actually good news for your repair. Unlike metallic paints that use tiny flakes of aluminum to create a shimmer, this is a pure pigment color. You don't have to worry about the flakes standing up the wrong way or creating dark stripes if your spray distance is inconsistent. However, because it is a stark, solid white, it is completely unforgiving of surface contaminants. Any speck of dust or wax left on the panel will stand out like a thumbprint on a mirror. While it is easier to blend than a pearl, keep in mind that since your car has likely spent years in the sun, the original finish may have developed a slightly warmer or creamier tone than the fresh paint in your hand.

Best Practices

Before you apply Volvo Ice White to your car, verify your code is 614 (usually found on a silver or black sticker on the driver-side door pillar) and spend at least two minutes shaking the container. Even though there is no metallic flake, the heavy white pigments settle at the bottom and need to be fully integrated for the right hide and color depth. Clean the area with a wax remover, then test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your specific car's aging. When applying, keep the container moving in steady passes. If you are using a pen or brush, avoid dabbing too thick; several thin layers will look much flatter and more professional than one heavy glob. Work in the shade or a garage to keep the drying time consistent and prevent the paint from skinning over too quickly.
