Paint

Hi All. Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy some Tungsten touch up paint please. As I'm having paint guard applied soon, and want to mend the few chips on the front before it goes on.

Chipex is a fav on here and they have that paint code in their system

Ta for that.I will do a Google search. Unless anyone has a link to a previous similar topic on here.

Search is your friend. Use the link above (but I suggest that you use "chipex aston" so that it links directly to one of the many previous threads from here).

can you not get touch up sticks from Aston Martin parts?

You probably can but I imagine that the Chipex system is a) cheaper and b) easier to get a better finish. If you take your time with it, stone chips or touch ups are virtually invisible after using Chipex. I often found that a touch up stick would leave unsightly blobs.

I just got a pot delivered this morning from Paints4u, a well rated alternative in the detailing world.

I have also used their stuff and the kit I got came with separate lacquer to go over the repair
I swapped to Chipex as it doesn't have that and is so easy to use even Jockman is an expert!

tried the OEM ones on my last Vantage and didn't get on with them
