paint code #400 beige metallic 200 1991

Hi All,
My beige metallic 245 has lived in New England (CT, MA, VT) since new and is about to clock 300,000 miles. This winter I have slowly worked through some rust issues along rocker panels and wheel arches and mostly the tailgate and above the rear bumper.

It is now ready to be painted in two stage paint by a well regarded local shop (he mostly does hot rods). This is pretty expensive but I hope worth it.

My question is does anybody have experience with buying paint with this code?

I have been directed to a local NAPA and the paint chip for this Volvo code looks a little off. The original paint is a fairly dull gold.

My car has never been resprayed and seems to have only been involved in one minor hit to the front. So apart from some fading it is all original. Should I expect a big discrepancy between the color in the can and dried on the car?

Any input on paint suppliers/color is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rod

    It'sa European paint so I would look up Glasrut or Myele (sp?).

    Asl the local shop who they get their Merc paint from. NAPA sells PPG which ain't European.

      Hi Stoney,

        paint code #400 beige metallic

        VP Autoparts (Sweden) has paint code #119 which is a slightly different version of "beige metallic" than the #400 beige metallic, but that probably won't help you.

        Link: http://212.247.61.152/us/main.aspx?page=article&artno=6000000311&startpage=3
        ................................
        Volvo Car Paint Codes

        The paint colour code identifies the original paint color of the body. The code is found on the vehicle identification plate usually located under the bonnet. The same colour code was used on different Volvo models. For example the dark blue code 96 was used on the Volvo 120 and 140 Series. Of course both are exactly the same colour. Also note that particular colour codes may have more than one colour name for marketing purposes.

        Some cars will have -1, -2 or -3 in the paint code, such as 100-1. The -1, -2, -3 refer to a different shade of the colour. -1 being a lighter shade and -3 being a darker shade.

        Volvo originally used a 140° Enamel paint, mostly Glasurit or Herberts.

        For the repair-market there was an 80° Enamel air-drying paint available.

        Volvo's paint codes were changed from December 1988. Both solvent and water based paints are now used on cars. In order to easily identity extra digits have been introduced which indicate if the paint is solvent or water based or has another quality

        Exmple: 850 has the paint code 189-21. The first three digits (189 in this case) is for Volvo's colour code 189 Polar White

        The fourth digit stands for:
        1 = BASF (Glasurit)
        2 = Herberts (STANDOX)
        3 = Beckers
        4 = IDAC/Dupont
        5 = Sikkens
        6, 7, and 9 = not used
        8 = IVI

        The fifth digit stands for:
        1 = solvent based
        2 = water based Metallic/Pearl + Varnish
        3 = water based Solid + Varnish
        4 = solvent based Solid + Varnish
        5 = solvent based Pearl shine + Varnish*
        6 = water based Solid/Metallic/Pearl + 2 component Varnish
        7 = water based Solid/Metallic/Pearl + powder Varnish
        8, 9 = not used

        *Because of the transparent pearl coat this concept includes a solid colour which is applied under the pearl coat

          About VP Autoparts

          Our original business idea was reproduce obsolete parts to keep Volvo models PV, Duett, 1800, 140 and 164 on the road, and make it possible to restore them to their original condition. Other keystones have been added since, most notably a Ford Mustang inventory.

          Our corporate office in Fristad is about 50 miles due east of Gothenburg, a geographic area where a lot of Volvos suppliers were to be found in the 60's. We have used plenty of those to reproduce items to original specifications when it comes to quality, as well as appearance. The Swedish tradition of producing spare parts for 1950's-70's Volvos are kept alive by VP Autoparts.

          We are one of the biggest - if not the biggest supplier - of classic Volvo spare parts. We have our own in-house upholstery shop where we produce complete interiors; door panels, seat uphostery, headliners, carpet sets among others. All materials and patterns meet Volvo's original specifications.

          All important information concerning our company and its operations is presented on these pages; current information, history manufacturing and staff.

          Is there any piece of information that you're missing?
