They were silver when I acquired the car in 2005. Over the years they started to look a bit tatty. Eventually got around to rejuvenating them last year when the car was unuseable during a power steering rack repair. Standard rubdown, coats of grey cellulose primer then coats of colour. I have some aerosols of dealer supplied Volvo Silver. I also have some aerosols of Halfords Volvo Silver. When seen together the Halfords is very different to the Volvo colour but I was happy to use the cheaper Halfords on the wiper arms. I am well pleased with the result, I just wish it was as easy to get the rest of the ageing bodywork looking as good.
For info, the paint code for the car should be on the identity plate. Fifth line down in the right hand column. Mine shows “130 - 11”. Dealer advises that the paint code is 130.
