I've always gone for genuine Volvo touch up paint (comes with lacquer), easy to use and I've had some great results using it I even touched up some flaky paint on my old C70s front bumper and it masked it really well and stoped the flaking in its tracks for the 5 years I owned the car!

Ditto - you won't get better than Volvo paint. Try Rufe at FRF Volvo, he can post you some.

I usually go to the paint shop across from my work for mine. They mix it on the spot once they get the paint code.

Genuine touch up from Volvo, I found ebay quite good price wise as long as you have the colour code

Smile Try these guys

Have used these guys on a few occasions, very helpful and their kits are good value if you need everything like the paint spears, and lacquer, I have no commercial link to them (just in case your wondering !)

You just need your colour code..
