Volvo XC50/XC70/XC90 Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volvo has always been the professor of the automotive world: sensible, safe, and surprisingly stylish when they want to be. For the XC lineup, they didn't just give us a palette; they gave us a mood board of Scandinavian landscapes. We've recorded 14 distinct colors for these models, ranging from the deep, oceanic Nautic Blue Pearl to the "I'm definitely going to the cabin this weekend" Scarab Green Pearl Metallic. They even threw in some flair with Ash Gold Pearl Metallic-a color that says you're successful, but you still buy your furniture in flat-boxes. Whether you're rocking Magic Blue or the classic Ice White, these colors were designed to look good under a layer of road salt and Swedish sleet.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "Identity Card." On most XC70 and XC90 models, your paint code is living on a black sticker located on the driver's side B-pillar (that's the metal post between the front and back doors). Look for a three-digit number like "426" or "452." Now, for the reality check: because these SUVs have the aerodynamic profile of a handsome brick, the front hoods are absolute magnets for rock chips. You might also notice some "lifting" or bubbling near the headlights where the trim pieces get a bit too cozy with the paint. If you see the clear coat starting to look a bit flaky on the roof or hood, don't panic-it just means your Volvo has spent a few too many summers in the sun without a hat.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since almost every color in the Volvo catalog (looking at you, Black Sapphire and Lava Sand) is a Pearl or Metallic, those tiny flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full 60 seconds-yes, actually time it-to wake up that metallic sparkle. When you apply it, don't try to fill the chip in one big, goopy "blob." Instead, think of it like filling a tiny swimming pool: go in with a very thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. If you're touching up your rims with Titanium Silver Metallic, the same rule applies. Patience is your best friend here; your Volvo spent years being built to last, so give it ten minutes of your afternoon to look new again.
