Go to a Volvo dealer and have them look it up on their system, or try VP autoparts.

Each paint manufacturer, using their own system will have their own percentages of the base colour and tints to make up a specific colour so it's not as easy as finding some numbers and presenting them to a paint shop. If you take your car to a GOOD paint shop or materials supplier they should be able to take a colour reading from your existing paint. Your current paint is likely to have been redone and may not be the same as the original or even close so beware what you are asking for. You might find that the original colour is visible somewhere in the trunk. 67-1 = 67 is the colour and the 1 indicates the factory paint supplier at the time, maybe Glasurit.

Of course the color match can be made from an existing part, but is a lot simpler and close to the original if the formula could be available. Andres |

The actual recipe is difficult to obtain - as mentioned above however as an end user you only really need the manufacturer's ID number.
Unfortunately => In Europe it is getting harder and harder to get hold of conventional single stage (cellulose) car paint - more modern two stage systems (of base coat and clear coat) are being introduced with lower VOC. This might mean the colour matching takes a hit as the colour often changes (slightly) when a clear coat is added - the recipes for newer paint aren't yet in many computer systems. It took me quite a bit of searching about to find someone who could replicate my Fawn Brown (72) - they had to adjust the colour for the two stage system - there was a bit of a delay...

Thank you for the information. It happens that I am a PPG distributor, so I can prepare the paint in our lab if I could get the formula, we do not have personnel that can do color match from scratch because we serve the industrial market, however they can do slight adjustments to tones. I have requested from PPG to investigate to see if they have a match in their records. Andres |
