1. Place a strip of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it. If the damage goes down to the bare metal, you may need to use primer first. If the paintdamage is on a plastic surface, an adhesiveprimer should be used for better results.Spray the primer into the lid of the spray canand brush on thinly.
2. Light sanding with a very fine-grained sand- paper or similar may be required beforepainting (e.g. if there are uneven edges).Clean the area carefully and let it dry.
3. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush, toothpick or similar. When theprimer is dry, apply one or more coats ofpaint and then a clear coat, letting the paintdry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the same pro-cedure as above, but first mask off the surround-ing area to protect the undamaged paint. Touch-up pens and spray paints are available at Volvo retailers.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare metal and an undamaged coat of paintremains, apply base coat and clear coatimmediately after cleaning the surface.
