Paint Code Location

Jinxie · Jan 21st, 2018, 18:05

The original factory owner's handbook for my 2008 V70 does a wonderful job of explaining the importance of the vehicle's paint code - but not telling where the paint code on the car can be found. The handbook states that the code can be found on a decal located on the B pillar on the rear o/s door jamb. This decal also shows the various maximum weights of the vehicle and all this is clearly shown in the manual. However, the picture that is supposed to indicate the location of the paint code simply shows this decal pixelated all over instead of highlighted over the relevant paint code portion. Can some kind soul tell me what sort of number I should be looking for (ie, numerals only or alphanumeric) and whereabouts on the decal it appears, please?

It is usually a three figure number these days eg twilight bronze - 700
