Volvo XC60 Touch Up Paint (37 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volvo has recorded a staggering 37 colors for the XC60, proving that Swedish minimalism doesn't have to be boring. They really went for it with some of these names-you've got the vibrant Rebel Blue and the "I definitely summer in the archipelago" Lime Grass Green Pearl. Of course, this is still Volvo, so they also mastered about twenty different ways to say "Grey," from the stormy Thunder Grey Metallic to the sophisticated Osmium Grey. Whether your car looks like a piece of polished granite or a bright Swedish candy, there's a specific recipe for that shade.

What to Watch For

While Volvo's build quality is legendary, their modern water-based paints are known for being a bit "soft." That upright, handsome front end on your XC60 acts like a catcher's mitt for road gravel, so keep an eye out for stone chips on the hood and the leading edges of the fenders. Also, a quick heads-up: Swedish clear coat is surprisingly sensitive to bird droppings. If a seagull decides your Crystal White roof is a target, try to clean it off sooner rather than later to avoid etching.

Finding your code: Don't go hunting under the hood. Open your doors and look at the "B-pillar" (the post between the front and rear doors). There should be a black or silver sticker near the bottom latch. Look for a three-digit number (like 707 or 492)-that's your golden ticket to a perfect match.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many XC60 colors are heavy on the metallic and pearl effects (looking at you, Electric Silver), the "The Shake" is your best friend. Shake that touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up the tiny flakes that have settled at the bottom. When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip in one big "blob." Instead, use the tip of the applicator to dab in a thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This prevents the paint from looking like a dark mole on the side of your car and keeps those beautiful Swedish reflections looking sharp.
