Bumper Cover, Paint Repair [2016-2020]: Handling

VEHICLES WITH BLIS AND METALLIC PAINT 

The paint products that are approved by Volvo to use have undergone Volvo's very stringent requirements and quality tests. To ensure the right quality level, it is imperative that all warranty repairs are performed using the paint products that are approved within the established collaboration PIA - Paint Information Aftersales. For the same quality reasons it is recommended, of course, that the approved products are used for all paint repairs.

Since metallic particles in car paint can deflect and/or distort radar beam energy transmitted through painted bumpers, it is important to minimize the total thickness of metallic paint by removing the old damaged coating before applying any new layers.
