Volvo EX30 Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volvo usually plays it safe with a palette that matches a rainy day in Gothenburg, but with the EX30, they finally decided to have some fun. We've recorded 5 main shades for this electric pocket rocket, ranging from the sophisticated Crystal White Tricoat and Vapour Grey to the surprisingly bold Moss Yellow. Whether you're driving the serene Cloud Blue or the deep Onyx Black Effect, Volvo's latest finish is all about that modern, minimalist Scandi-chic look.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, you'll need your secret handshake-the paint code. On the EX30, Volvo tucked this away on the driver's side door pillar (the B-pillar between the front and rear doors). Look for a product label near the bottom; the code is usually a three-digit number.

Now, for the reality check: keep a close eye on the areas the robots might have missed. Some owners have noticed the paint can be a bit "shy" under the hood or inside the wheel arches, where the clear coat is thinner or missing entirely. Also, if you're rocking the Moss Yellow, be aware that yellow pigments are notoriously thin-if you see a chip, fix it sooner rather than later to keep that Swedish steel protected from the elements.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with Crystal White Tricoat or Onyx Black, you're dealing with a lot of depth and sparkle. Give your touch-up bottle a serious workout-shake it for at least 60 seconds to make sure those metallic flakes are invited to the party.

When applying the paint, think "less is more." Use the tip of your applicator to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with the Moss Yellow, don't be surprised if the first layer looks a little translucent; just wait 20 minutes and add a second thin layer. Patience is your best friend here-building up the color in stages will give you a much cleaner look than one big, gloopy teardrop.
