Hello All,
I need to touch up the upper ridge on the wheels for my '07 XC70. The shop I bought new tires from did a lousy job mounting the tires since they scraped that ridge on all 4 tires. The code for this paint is 936 and all I need is a container of brush on paint. I have been unable to find anything at all except some advice to use Wurth spray on or Duplicolor Silver spray. I've also been told that Saab paint is an exact match and there is some of that available from Great Britain. The rest of the wheels are like new as were those ridges before this mess. Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated.

most US paint code listings for Volvo don't go past the 700s. You can either call a dealer / parts store or try a similar "bright silver metallic" like code 711. If you can't find the touch stick you can use a rattle can to spray some on a board then use a Q-tip to dab into the scratches then fine sand and coat with clear. You may need to invest $10-15 in an experiment can then test on a hidden part of the rim. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a Ford "bright silver metallic" matched as well.

 

Thanks for the input. I'll start with the 711 code and go on from there.

 

Here you go. Good luck!

Thanks for the lead. I'll keep it in mind but the postage is 8.49BP and it's only 15ml. May have to bite the bullet if that's the only option.

 

If the shop damaged the rims and importantly you can prove it to them they should take care of the damage. There are alloy rim repair companies all over.

 

Thanks for your response. I may go that route. I just don't trust them to do anything right and I don't want the entire rim re-done. The rim repair shops we had locally aren't here anymore.

 

Check with local dealership service departments/used car departments to see who they use.
