It's hard to say, but I would guess that it is either Akzo Nobel or Glasurit. I repainted our 93' with Glasurit 55 line basecoat/clearcoat and the color match was spot on. Did our BMW in R-M Diamont and am going to paint the 97' in R-M.

I just had to repair the 93' after it was backed in to and ...

To quickly tell whether or not it is past the clear, grab some clear nail polish and "paint" one of the deepest scratches. If the clear makes it go away, you are are in luck.
Honestly, if you can wrench on your car, you can repair scratches. PM me if you would like detailed instructions on how to ...

Thanks for the reply. I will try that and let everyone know how it goes.

Does anyone know how to unlock the steering wheel from the locked position to get at the screws that will release the airbag to remove the steering wheel? I found a really nice leather wrapped steering wheel that I want to grab up.

I just finished doing the cv boots last weekend and swear that I will never do them again. It is a real PITA.
I know that some folks will chime in saying that it is not that bad, but honestly, it is worth buying a quality replacement. If you go the used route, try to find a u-pick-it yard where you ...

Lee is the man when it comes to Volvo's. Check his recommendations first then check this: When I first pulled the motor out to replace it, I replaced a pigtail connection to the wrong connector. It is a 2 wire connector that has a red and a black wire. I believe that it is on the bottom of the motor ...

Like Mike says, take a look at that "port' between cylinder 2 and 3. I just had to deal with that leak and it was really messy. The amount of oil looks like what was happening with mine, but from the picture it (the port) looks clear. Definitely use a rag and clean the oil then monitor with the ...

Stone,
Honestly, it could still be the blower motor. I have replaced numerous motors on my daughters' 850 and they have all been from the bone yard, so their life is short. What I have found is, when you have an older motor, the resistance to get the motor started is enough to, one: blow the fuse or ...

If you are taking the time to pull the headlights and sand them, take them to a body shop and have them clear the lenses. They will not go bad again. If you just polish them, the haze will return in 6 months or so if it is outside often. Just did my parents 240 and they can't believe the difference ...

I just ordered all the goodies from FCP. Doing A arms and links and all that good stuff while I am in there fooling around with the suspension. Car only has 115k on it and I am surprised that both the struts and mounts are bad. Our other 850 has like 204k with all the original suspension and it is 4 ...
