Your Paint Color Profile

P3241 - Yellow

The Look

This is the color of a true workhorse. Since your semi truck has been on the road since 2005, the original finish has likely faced years of harsh sun and highway debris. This yellow was designed for maximum visibility on the job site and the open road. It is a functional, bold shade that defines the heavy-duty era of the Volvo VT series. Because it is a commercial color, it prioritizes being seen over being flashy.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes or pearl shifts, which makes the application more forgiving. However, yellow pigments are notorious for being thin and transparent. This finish has low hiding power, meaning the primer or the scratch underneath will show through the first few layers. You must resist the urge to apply the paint thick to get coverage. If you do, the paint will sag or run.

Best Practices

You can find your identification plate on the driver side door jamb or on the firewall under the hood. Before you spray or dab Volvo Yellow (check for code P3241), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to see how well it matches your current paint. Keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow and avoid heavy spots. Work in a garage or shade to keep the metal cool, and allow for plenty of drying time between each light layer to build a solid, durable finish.

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.
