Looking good Paul but to be fair, unless the roof fell in, how is it going to get any chips sat in your garage under that cover? You'd enjoy ownership even more if you drove it biggrin

They look great and doing well without PPF . I must admit , from about 40K miles onwards, my previous 06 black Vantage looked like it had been shot with a shotgun across the front and sills. Eventually it go sprayed by dealer at trade in with 83k miles.

My 12 tungsten silver Roadster is fairing much better, with 55k miles on it now, and just a few chips that have been touched in professionally.

Perhaps Aston did make the paint a bit harder over the years.....

Thanks V8.
Bogie to be honest when i got the car with less than 3k miles on it , it did have some light stone rash on the front , god knows how with that mileage.

I have an excellent bodyshop near me that removed all this stone rash with out painting a really superb job.

So you are doing really well with those miles.

Thanks for the comments guys, BlackV8, Wow.

That sounds interesting. Can you tell what kind of technique they used? Was it some kind of "spot/smart repaint"? With my old black VW Golf I was always told that this is impossible and a repaint of the bonnet would be the only way.

Hi Emilio, sorry i have no idea how they managed it other than it removed everything to make a perfect finish. (no painting)
They are an Italian bodyshop.

I live with mine and its front end rash and touched up stonechips - this way I don't get upset every time I wash it. Well Ok I do a bit - finding stone chips on the roof and A pillars after the last 2300 mile Euro jaunt last week!!!

I've said I'll respray it when its 10 and PPF it too (may have to sell a kidney) but these matt black wrap ideas keep coming meantime! Ridiculous but these black cars look great guys!
