► TUTORIAL HOW TO PAINT A CAR

Our Volvo paints are intended for touch-up work or complete painting work on private vehicles.
We produce all the manufacturer's colors from 1950 to today.
For all pearlescent and metallic shades, we offer the paint only in a matt base version to be varnished

The two-coat paint system, as its name suggests, consists of 2 steps:
1 - the application of a matt base (1C single-component paint)
2 - followed by the application of a varnish (2C two-component varnish)

The bodywork preparation step
When repainting a complete part or when repainting a bare part (metal).
When the old paint has been very damaged, or has been repaired with putty.
In these 3 cases, it is recommended to apply a primer.

The surface preparation step must be done with the greatest possible care, this will guarantee you every chance of succeeding in a beautiful painting job.
In the art of body painting, a prepared surface is a surface sanded with 500 grit, degreased (if the surface may have invisible contaminants such as silicones or greasy finger marks), dusted (with a tack pad), and dried of course.

Sanding should never be done finer than 500, otherwise the adhesion power is too low.

Mixing and applying Volvo paint

For small packages, the paints are already diluted.
For kit packages, the pure paint is supplied with its separate thinner.
In the latter case, mix approximately 2 parts paint to one part thinner (100:50-70)
The paint can be stored ready to use for several years

The application is done with an aerosol or with a gun equipped with a nozzle whose size is between 0.8 and 1.5 mm
2 layers spaced 2 to 5 minutes apart must be applied
It is possible to apply thinner and more numerous layers, this gives better results
It is important to apply the body varnish without delay, that is to say before the Volvo color code paint is completely dry on the surface. This is called painting wet on wet. For a 20° solvent-based matt base, the maximum time is 30 minutes for covering without sanding
