Stan Wright Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I've been trying to find touch up paint for my truck. Metallic Green P3021. So far I've had no luck. Is this another 'call Volvo' situation or has someone had luck finding a company that sells paint for our trucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 This is where I got mine. Also O'Reillys can mix it with your number in some locations. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

atv_idiot Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Any paint distributor should be able to mix you some, but I dont think they will mix less than a pint or in some rare cases 1/2 pints....Most distributors supply body shops with paint and can mix in house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Many NAPA stores sell DuPont paints. Those that do can match the paint code. Or go to any body shop that uses/advertises PPG brand paints. They can mix to the exact color tint of a 1998 Volvo red that has been in the southern sun.

RandyA Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Many of Volvo's fleet colors are the same as General Motors paint colors. You can find the more popular GM colors in DupliColor Lacquer spray cans at auto parts stores like Auto Zone. Unfortunately, Volvo product codes do not cross reference to the GM code. I can make no promises on the green metallic, but the white on my truck is an exact match to one of the GM whites in a DupliColor rattle can (if anyone should need that product code let me know). Also, you "might" find a green match for your truck in one of the touch-up paint bottles in the GM line if noting is available in a spray can.

Bobi and Dick McKee Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I went to a body shop to find touch up for our Freightliner M2. They used a gun to read the paint (just like the hardware stores use to match house paint) and mixed up a pint for $20 that matches the paint perfectly.

I don't know at what price . NAPA ended up being able to get me some paint when no one else could...even Sherwin Williams who made the factory paint. I brought in a fairing bracket so they could check it against their paint samples. While looking through their paint samples they actually found some Volvo VNL specific samples and were able to match my paint perfectly. They made a can of spray paint and put the rest in a can that I could use as touchup paint. $17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
