Your Paint Color Profile

740 - Vapour Grey

The Look

This is the hallmark of Volvo's minimalist, electric future. If you are fixing a chip on an EX30 or an EX90, you are working with a shade inspired by the muted tones of Scandinavian limestone. It is a clean, architectural grey that gives your car a solid, ceramic appearance without the heavy glitter found in traditional paints. It looks purposeful on the C40 and brings a quiet, modern authority to the S90.

Technical Details

Because this finish relies on a uniform, technical look rather than heavy metallic flake, it is very revealing. You do not have to worry about flakes standing on end and changing the color at different angles, which makes matching the shade easier than with a bright silver. However, because the color is so consistent, any high spots or uneven layers will show up clearly. You want a smooth surface before you start, as this color highlights the geometry of the panel rather than hiding it under a sparkle.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Volvo Vapour Grey (check for code 740), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the pigments are perfectly distributed. You will find your paint code on the product plate, which is typically located on the driver-side center pillar between the doors. Always test the color on the included card first to confirm the match against your specific car. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots and allow for the recommended drying time between coats to build a level finish in your garage or a patch of shade.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Volvo's Color Code

Volvo paint codes can be anywhere in the engine compartment. They are typically on the radiator support, but may also be on the sheet metal on either side of the engine compartment, so finding them can be challenging. Typical color code format: 421. 421 corresponds to Dark Olive Pearl Clearcoat. Same color code, different name across models; for example, 421 could also be called Dark Green Clearcoat or Mystic Green Clearcoat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
