Applying touch-up paint to the
damaged surface
If the damage has not reached down to the
metal, the touch-up paint can be applied
directly after the surface has been cleaned.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
If the damage is down to the metal, use of
a primer is appropriate. In the event of
damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive
primer should be used to give better
results - spray into the lid of the spray can
and brush on thinly.
2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a
very fine polishing agent may be carried
out locally if required (e.g. if there are any
uneven edges). The surface is cleaned
thoroughly and left to dry.
3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off
with a basecoat and clearcoat once the
primer has dried.
For scratches, implement the same procedure
but mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
Touch-up pens and spray paints for touching
up paintwork are available from Volvo dealers.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated down
to the meal and an undamaged layer of
paint remains in place, fill in with base coat
and clear coat as soon as the surface has
been cleaned.
