The bright part is new two stage paint, the rest is original (and faded) paint
Actually, it's the other way around. Prior to my ownership, the car was hit by a coyote (seriously, a coyote). It was damaged low, behind the front tire. The PO had the fender replaced and the shop painted the full front door, instead of pulling a blend. The color match was poor though if the door was blended properly, it wouldn't be so obvious. In the time since, the door & fender have faded much more than the rest of the car, which is still factory paint. Actually, the front bumper cover has been painted, too, but was blended nicely in the middle so it looks fine. The rest is the paint that left Sweden...

Thanks for correcting my about the name of the color. I had it in my head as Dakar Yellow, shoulda googled it to be sure... :D

BTW ~ Sale is pending to a Volvo fan in VA. If all goes to plan, he'll take delivery later this month.

Where in VA is the potential new owner? Richmond area? It would be nice to have another 850R in the area. There are two elusive yellow 850 T5R wagons that live around me, plus one SWEET yellow T5R sedan and one black T5R sedan. The black lives around the corner from me. Every time I see the yellow wagons, I just happen to be driving my wife's van with the family and cannot get the owner's attention without looking like a crazy person. I know they are two different cars by the plates. One day I'll be in my 855R wagon when I see one of them...

I have a similar color on my yellow T5 R. The PO had the hood painted by a not so good shop (hit a deer), and they used two part paint. Volvo recommends single stage PPG Deltron, which I have purchased for the repaint of my car in the original "cream yellow."

Your car looks great, good luck with the sale.

Still for sale... New car is here. How about $2,750? It's a good one, just needs a new Volvo enthusiast to own it.
