I use spray cans from this company. Costs more but the metallic colors are a close match. It is such a small part, the IPD paint is probably fine. With any base color you need several coats of clear coat, too. Also use some rubbing compound on the clear coat to buff the surface until it is glossy.

 

After closer inspection the nozzle will also need to be replaced, one of the little circular nubs on the side broke off so a new cover won't stay attached anyway. For the cover I'm going to try my luck with a pre-painted knock off and if I'm unlucky I'll get an OEM cover and paint it. It's plain black, not metallic, so it might be okay.

The cheap and cheerful covers from Ali Express come unpainted, but are black… from more than a few feet away won’t even show in most lights, and you can’t see it from where you sit anyway - having said that my daughter used a touch up bottle to paint them on her my celestial blue C70 and they look OK

 

Well the cheap knock-off cover arrived and it looks like it is OEM with the OEM markings covered up / sanded off.

 

Old post I know, any sources for cheap ones for V70 2011 ?

I 3D printed a V50 one with printer I bought a couple of weeks back, was a test, turned out great

Just cant find one for the V70, not sure if their are any other models that are quite close in size etc

Thanks

 

Step 1) get a second passenger side washer cover
Step 2) install it unpainted
Step 3) Ask your dealer, or a dealer with a larger auto body shop, to paint your other unpainted cover for you next time a car comes through that needs sprayed that color.

The IPD black should work provided you properly prep the part and use an adhesion promoter. However, for painting bumper plastics there is usually more chemistry involved; the dirty little secret is that the paint for auto bumper plastics never really 100% "dries"

 

I have had a black (unpainted) one on my dark blue S60 for years, was going to, but never yet got around to painting it. Can’t really see it from 10ft away unless it’s in bright sunshine, and definitely can’t see it from where I sit

 

I just used the cheap pre-painted Chinese knock off and it works great.

 

Any links for these cheap V70 ones you are talking about ! Closest I see is for the S80

 

I ordered mine from eBay prepainted in factory Blacl Stone, and one set in ice white. Both match perfectly.

 

No cheap ones on Ebay, weird though the S80 are only a couple of quid on Ali

I know they are not exactly the same, I wonder if they are a close fit, little bracket / swivel on the
flap look pretty close, I ordered 2 this morning for £4 delivered, I have blue paint here etc

Pity I cannot find an Stl file for my 3D printer for this V70 one, Ive searched online everywhere

Plenty files for V50 / V60 and XC's, weird why no V70 ones
