This week I ordered some touch up paint from Volvo. Sonic Blue 470 the order was placed and paid for ,one touch up pen & some spray paint comes in as two tins ,paint then clearcoat. Revived a Email back from Volvo which says that colour code is no longer available to buy from Volvo !. Did I bit of looking around looks like I will be off to get some made up or a trip to the body shop.
just take your fuel cap to a paint supplyer's and they can do do you a bang on match. one our paint scheme at work there's 3 or maybe 4 shades of your colour. if its touching up your doing you don't want aerosol anything. your better doing it with a very fine paint brush, and just filling the scratch up

quite a few colours are now discontinued. but the thing is, they are all listed as available on the official accessory site. time to pull them up on this I think !
There's a company on ebay I use to get paint for the sweed. £20 for a 400ml can and a 400ml can of clear. Always bang-on. Must get myself some more.
Www.jawel.co.uk This people mix any colour for you costs about tenner per can
do Halfords still mix paints, used them before & always had a good match
I believe meganes accessory shops also mix paint.
Had a good look at the car over the weekend and think it needs a bit of TLC at the bodyshop some time soon.
