On the two-coat paint/matt base paint to clearcoat page :
All you have to do is choose the packaging. The packaging of your Volvo color code paint is both the form in which the product is delivered (aerosol or can of spray paint) and also the quantity (by volume, not by weight).
To determine the amount of paint needed to paint a Volvo vehicle, you must roughly estimate the surface area in square meters :
For example, a wing = 0.5m²
For example, a bonnet = 2m²
The average yield of paints is approximately 5 m² per diluted litre. So, by knowing the average consumption, we can estimate the need : for example, for a 2 m² cover, 500 ml (you must necessarily take a little more product).
Among our offers, which range from the 400 ml aerosol through the 250 ml pot, and up to the 2 liter kit, there are diluted versions, that is to say ready to use because they already include the thinner and it there are pure versions which include pure paint on one side, with the thinner on the side (this is only the case for the 2L or 10L kit).

VOLVO car color codes

It is very easy to achieve excellent quality work, without being a professional painter and without being equipped with professional facilities, i.e. paint booth and workshop. Of course, this is valid for painting and retouching on small parts only. You cannot do a full paint job on a car without a paint booth. In order to capture dust from the ambient atmosphere, we can wet the walls and floors, paint them on a day at temperate temperature and without wind.

The main condition for the success of the paint, both for a professional and for an individual who has never practiced, is essentially the scrupulous respect of all the technical instructions for the use and application of the paint. .

The paintwork of the 2000s and the Volvo color codes are of course no exception and are mainly pearlescent and metallic effects. These Volvo paints are produced by us on the same day of the order. They are formulated in a version of paint that is called matt clearcoat base : these paints with the Volvo 1C color code (for single component) represent 90 to 95% of contemporary paints (the rest is made up of 2C gloss paints). They are particularly easy to apply, as they are fluid, very thin, they have a record drying time in terms of speed, and therefore they do not run.
They are applied in a very simple way, c ie by spraying several very thin coats with a gun, with a maximum drying time interval of one to two minutes. When applying with an aerosol, of course, you cannot make thin coats, rather you make fast coats.

The application of the matt paint to be refinished is naturally followed by the application of a bodywork clearcoat which will create shine and resistance.

The history of the manufacturer VOLVO

Volvo is a Swedish car manufacturer. Its production is considered to be part of luxury vehicles, yet most of its ranges are offered to the general public at relatively affordable prices. Originally, the brand dates back to 1915. However, the first vehicles, which are offered for sale to the general public, were made 12 years later in 1927 with the Volvo OV4.

Since 1999, the automobile manufacturer Volvo Cars, which is mainly dedicated to automobile production and the parent company which deals with the construction of machinery, trucks, buses and even train carriages, has are split.
It was also around this time that Volvo was acquired by the American car giant Ford. During the last 25 years, the Volvo company has changed hands several times, notably between the manufacturers Rover, then recently the Indian Tata Motors.
This systematic habit that we find in the automobile industry, of buying, reselling, grouping together follows an imperative logic of grouping together to lower costs and quite simply to survive in the modern custom specific to automobile manufacturing: the smallest manufacturers cannot survive.

The Swedish company is showing real ambitions in the field of ecology and the transformation of these offers, by announcing the total transition of its production to electric mode by 2030.
It has also started very large investments in several giant factory projects for the production of electric batteries in partnership with another automotive company.

Where to find the color code of your VOLVO car ?

For VOLVO brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the color code (vinplate) can be found in two different places:
- Inside the engine compartment.
- Between the two doors on the right side (passenger side).
You can take help from the images provided below which illustrates the location.
The color code is always composed of three to five digits.
Here are some examples of Volvo color codes :

03650 SEAWOLF BLUE VOLVO 2004 -
03689 GRAY VOLVO 2019

We remind you that only the color code made up of numbers is present on the body of the vehicle. The name of the color is not represented on the body. No information is present on the gray card.
Our body colors are sold in cans (spray paint) or in aerosol. Clearly, we recommend spray painting, which is better done and more economical.
