Volvo Crystal Green Metallic Touch Up Paint — Paint Code 456

Will 456 match my Volvo if the paint has faded?

The kit is mixed to the 456 formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.

Where it will not match

• Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
• A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
• Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
• Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.
