Cant find paint code on my 240

SSomerville · Sep 10, 2018

I cant find the paint code on my 1984 240. It does not seem to be any of the numbers on the ID plate. Ive given the paint match guy all of the codes on this ID plate and none of them come up with anything. Anyone else have this colour Volvo or know where i can find the paint code?

That's possibly an Australian assembled and painted car

That is an AUS assembled car (see the 86 on top row RH side) and also the date stamp and paint & interior codes are sort of hand stamped. Your paint code is CLR809 sand beige. It’s shared with Nissan/Datsun CLR809 (sandstone beige)...your paint code should also be located on a DULUX sticker on the vertical panel alongside the radiator (inside the engine bay) next to the RH side headlight. If you have A/C the A/C receiver-drier may be located quite close to it and possibly obscuring it. Hope that helps!
