Volvo Coupe Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volvo really leaned into the "European Luxury" vibe with this lineup, recording a total of 18 colors for the Coupe. They definitely weren't playing it safe in the design studio-they really went for it with choices like the regal Richelieu (Wine) Red and the unapologetically bold Cornado Gold Metallic. Whether you're rocking the understated Mystic Silver Metallic or a classic Tomato Red, these colors were designed to make a statement on a car that already looked like a rolling piece of architecture.

What to Watch For

Because these Bertone-styled beauties have spent a few decades in the sun, the clear coat on the flat surfaces-specifically the hood and that long, elegant roof-can start to get a bit tired and flaky. If you're looking for your paint code to ensure a match, don't go hunting the door jambs first. On the Coupe, you'll usually find the silver data plate tucked under the hood, right above the passenger-side headlamp or occasionally on the driver-side strut tower. Keep an eye on the trunk lid as well; since it's a different material than the fenders, the paint there can age at a different speed, but it's nothing a steady hand can't handle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these classic Volvo shades are high-sparkle metallics like Avalon Blue or Redwood Metallic, your biggest secret weapon is the "The Great Shake." Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those metallic flakes that have settled at the bottom. When applying, avoid the urge to fill a chip in one big go. Instead, think of it like building a sandwich: apply one thin dot of color, let it dry, and add another if needed. Some of the deeper metallic tones require patience to get the depth just right, but building it up in thin layers will give you that factory-fresh glow without the heavy globs.
