Volvo C70 Touch Up Paint (36 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volvo didn't just make a car with the C70; they made a rolling canvas. With a whopping 36 recorded colors, they clearly leaned into the "lifestyle" vibe of this convertible. We're talking about everything from the legendary Saffran Pearl (which looks like a Swedish sunset) and Celestial Blue Pearl to the more buttoned-up Black Sapphire. Whether you have one of the wilder metallic golds or a classic Passion Red, Volvo really went for it with deep, multi-stage finishes that give the car that premium "brick-but-make-it-fashion" look.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you'll need your 3-digit paint code. On the C70, this is usually hiding on a silver plate on the driver-side door pillar or tucked away in the engine bay on the strut tower or firewall. Keep a close eye on the trunk lid and the edges of the folding roof panels; because the C70 has so many moving parts in that top, those edges are prime real estate for small chips and clear coat wear. You might also notice the front bumper looks a bit "peppered"-this car sits low, so it tends to catch every pebble on the highway.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many C70 colors are pearls or metallics (like Magic Blue or Zanzibar Gold), the "magic" is actually tiny flakes of mica or metal sitting at the bottom of your bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired-to ensure those sparkles are evenly distributed. When applying, use the "less is more" rule: dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're using a spray can for a larger scuff on the bumper, stay at least 8-10 inches away and move in quick, horizontal passes. Multiple thin coats will always look better than one heavy, sagging drip.
