How to Find Paint Codes and Interior Trim Codes on your Volvo
When we sell body parts and interior parts we always recommend to our customers that they match the paint or trim codes off of their vehicle to the codes from our vehicle. You might be suprised just how many color variations both in paint and interior trim colors were produced Volvos.
Of course you can paint body parts to match your car, but we know it saves you time and money if you can find a replacement part already painted the right color. Here at East Coast we will always make the effort to help our customers get the right part they need and will provide paint and interior trim codes whenever possible.
This is a general guide of where to locate the paint and trim codes for your late model Volvo. We do not have a list of the coinciding names for the colors - but if you are at least able to match the numbers when purchasing a part you will take the guess work out of trying to match colors.
Below I have listed a few examples of Volvos we have in inventory. The location of the VIN plate is different between models of Volvos. Sometimes it is easily accessible on the top of the fender apron and other times it can be hidden down on the inside behind the battery. See examples below.
On all of the late model Volvos we deal with, the interior trim code is always the four digit number located on the middle right side of the VIN plate. The paint code is the first three digits of the number below it.
On the 1998 Volvo S70 GLT the VIN Plate is located on the drivers side fender apron. On this plate you can find the paint and interior trim codes for this Volvo.
On the 1998 Volvo S70 GLT the paint code is the three digit number located on the middle right side of the VIN plate. The interior trim code is a four digit number right above the paint code.
On the 2004 Volvo XC70 the VIN Plate is located on top of the drivers side fender apron. On this plate you can find the paint and interior trim codes for this Volvo.
On the 2004 Volvo XC70 Cross Country the paint code is the three digit number located on the middle right side of the VIN plate. The interior trim code is a four digit number right above the paint code.
