Post Red is Volvo paint code S97570. Volvo used S97570 on the Truck, Fleet from 2010 to 2021. S97570 is a solid, high gloss finish. Of the 19 Volvo red colours ordered from us, 9 have been ordered more often than Post Red.
Will S97570 match my Volvo if the paint has faded?
The kit is mixed to the S97570 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.
