Paint damage
Paint is an important part of the car's rustproof-
ing and should therefore be checked regularly.
The most common types of paintwork damage
are stone chips, scratches, and marks on the
edges of wings, doors and bumpers.
IMPORTANT
When the car is painted in a matte clear coat:
Only allow an authorised workshop to carry
out paint repairs. An authorised Volvo work-
shop is recommended.
Touching up minor paintwork damage
To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.
