How do I find my Volvo paint code?

Finding your Volvo paint code is the first step in getting a professional-level repair at home. Depending on the Volvo model you have, the paint code location is usually in the engine compartment, on the driver’s side door jamb, or on the rear passenger side door column. Look for a sticker that shows a 3-digit numerical code. In some cases, it will be followed by a hyphen and another 2-digit sequence. You may find it easier to find your Volvo paint code by registration number — just enter your number plate info, and we’ll do the rest. Once we have your repair kit order, we’ll use our colour matching technology to mix the right shade and finish for your exact paint code.

Which Chipex™ UK paint repair kit should I order?

We understand how frustrating it can be to find road rash, chips, or scratches on your Volvo. We also know that getting the right amount or paint is essential for a flawless repair. For this reason, we offer three Volvo paint kits. Select the size you need for perfect coverage and minimal waste: Chipex™ Lite: With enough paint and blending solution for 12 stone chips or light scratches, our Chipex™ Lite kit is ideal for minor damage. Chipex™ Plus: If you’re tackling more extensive scuffs or scrapes, consider the Chipex™ Plus kit, which offers enough Volvo touch up paint to cover 24 imperfections. * Chipex™ Pro: For repairs that require several coats, we suggest opting for the Chipex™ Pro kit. The largest kit includes a greater volume of colour matched paint and more accessories. Plus, it has a longer shelf life, so you can always have a backup when road rash appears.

Do I need to add clear coat after using Chipex™ UK touch up paint?

Because our all-in-one formulation contains a patented lacquer, you won’t need to buy an additional clear coat. All you need to do is apply your Volvo repair paint as per our instructions, let it dry and cure, and you’ll be good to go. Your car will be smudge-free, and the paint will be protected against rust and corrosion for years to come.

You may also be wondering whether you need to add primer before applying your Volvo touch up paint. The answer depends on the level of damage. For minor scratches and chips, you can apply your Chipex™ UK paint directly to the affected area. However, if you’re dealing with deeper scratches that have penetrated all paint layers, right down to the metal, it’s a good idea to use primer first. Doing so will create a good base for your colour matched paint to adhere to. When damage is more extensive, we also recommend building up your paint layers to create a smooth, uniform finish.

Is Chipex™ all-in-one touch up paint reliable?

Absolutely! The Chipex™ touch up paint system offers a DIY solution that delivers professional-standard results. It’s fast, affordable, and reliable, whether you’re dealing with chips on your Volvo C7 or repairing a patch of road rash on your Volvo 850. The all-in-one formula includes your 100% colour matched paint plus a pre-mixed, patented lacquer to protect the repair. Combined with our effective blending solution, you can achieve seamless results that make scratches and scrapes disappear. Even if you’ve never used car touch up paint before, our beginner-friendly solution has you covered.

How long will my Volvo paint repair last?

Because our paint touch up kits include a protective lacquer, you can enjoy long-lasting coverage. Follow our comprehensive yet easy-to-understand instructions, and you’ll have a robust Volvo paint repair that matches your vehicle’s OEM bodywork seamlessly and provides durable coverage for several years.

About the Volvo XC40

The Volvo XC40 is Volvo’s compact premium SUV and one of the most popular small luxury crossovers in the UK, produced since 2017 and now available in mild hybrid petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid (Recharge), and fully electric (Recharge Pure Electric) variants. The XC40 brought Volvo’s Scandinavian design language and safety credentials to a compact SUV body and has been consistently awarded top safety and design ratings since its launch.

As a premium compact SUV used across a variety of road conditions, the XC40 sees stone chip damage on the front bumper and bonnet as a regular issue. Chipex stocks colour-matched touch up paint for every UK-market XC40 shade, including the distinctive Volvo-exclusive colours unique to the brand.

Volvo XC40 Generations and Paint Code Location

The Volvo XC40 is a single-generation model, continuously updated since 2017:

Mk1 (2017–present) – available in ICE, PHEV (Recharge), and BEV (Recharge Pure Electric) variants

Your Volvo XC40 paint code is a three to four-character alphanumeric code. The paint code sticker is inside the driver’s door jamb – open the door and look for the white label on the door pillar. The code is listed alongside the VIN and tyre pressure data.

Volvo uses a number of exclusive paint colours not available on other brands – including Crystal White Pearl, Thunder Grey, and Fjord Blue – all of which are available as exact OEM matches from Chipex.

Common Volvo XC40 Paint Issues

Stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet leading edge are the most frequent damage type on the XC40 – particularly on models used on motorways or rural roads. Crystal White Pearl (706) is consistently the most ordered XC40 colour on the Chipex platform – a pearlescent finish requiring 1–2 thin coats.

Thunder Grey (726) is a distinctive Volvo-exclusive metallic grey popular on the XC40 and requiring 2–3 thin coats for an accurate flake match. Onyx Black (019) is a solid black requiring careful thin-coat application. Fjord Blue (751) and Fusion Red (712) are vivid metallic shades unique to Volvo requiring 2–3 thin coats.
