Volvo Cross Country Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volvo took their "go anywhere" Swedish spirit and translated it into a palette of 12 distinct colors. They really went for it with the earthy, adventurous tones like Java Pearl and Scarab Green Pearl Metallic-shades that look just as good covered in trail dust as they do in a suburban driveway. Whether you're driving the deep Nautic Blue Pearl or the sophisticated Ash Gold Pearl Metallic, these colors were designed to feel premium while still being rugged enough for a weekend in the woods.

What to Watch For

Before you start your repair, pop open the driver's side door and look at the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). You're looking for a three-digit number-that's your golden ticket to the right match. While Volvo paint is generally sturdy, the Cross Country is a road warrior. Keep an eye on the hood and those thin roof strips; years of sun and highway debris can lead to rock chips or a clear coat that looks a bit "tired" and starts to flake. Don't panic-it's just a sign that your wagon has actually lived a little life.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these Volvo colors are loaded with "Pearl" or "Metallic" flakes, they require a little extra patience to get right. Those sparkles love to settle at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen or brush for at least two full minutes before you open it. When applying, don't try to "paint" a long stroke like you're doing a baseboard in your house. Instead, use the tip of the brush to gently dab a tiny amount of paint into the center of the chip. Let the paint find its own level and fill the gap. It's much better to do two thin, delicate layers than one big, gloppy mess!
