No touch-up paint for Bursting Blue!

Well, this is an interesting situation... I asked my local dealer for a touch-up paint for my 2016 XC90 R-Design in Bursting Blue since I had a few small rock chips I wanted to touch up. The parts department had to go look it up and when they did they discovered Volvo doesn't offer one in that color! I asked how I was supposed to touch up my factory paint and they recommended a local body shop! :mad:

Volvo seems to offer the factory touch-up paint for every other color but not Bursting Blue. I guess I will have to find a third party option for this but very disappointed Volvo does not support their own factory color! :angryfire:

Well, my detailer offers to do touch up when they do paint correction but prefer a factory kit to ensure same quality and color as whats on the car. I have heard good things about Dr Colorchip as well, just was trying to avoid a aftermarket solution to this problem.

Grecian, why in the world does Volvo not support Bursting Blue?

Yes, I am aware that there are aftermarket options for touch up paint but am shocked Volvo does not offer one for this color themselves. You take a chance on the paint match when using a non-factory based option in my opinion.

I seem to recall Electric Silver Metallic is also off the touch up paint list and that’s what we’re ordering...

Hi Nora, I never did find a touch up kit to use but I can tell you that matching Bursting Blue is very challenging. When I had my wide body kit installed on my XC90 it had to be repainted due to a mis-match in color. This was through a professional body shop using the paint code from Volvo. It is apparently a very complicated mix to get the right hue... they even had one of the paint shop guys come to the shop to help on getting the color right.
