Should I respray my whole car?

[Sump]

The DB9 is suffering from annoying but very minor paint issues.

The sills need a respeay regardless due to stone chips.

The boot paint is bubbling so requires painting regardless.

The passenger door has some corrosion around the door lock.

The drivers door has a small bubble.

The Bumper has stone chips

The wings have stone chips, one wing has a little bubble.

As you can see it's a serious case of where do I stop with this. Am I best off getting the complete car resprayed and what sort of costs should I be looking at? I was planning on just doing the sills and boot but then I keep thinking I might aswell do the corrosion and by this point we are spraying half the car, chuck in the other tiny bubbles and we are now talking about spraying the whole car. Doing 75% and leaving a stone chipped front is moronic so....yeah!

Anyone have recommendations in Sheffield or nearby for spraying?

Based on your info I would say get the whole car resprayed.

Depending on color, it is very difficult to blend in new paint to old. Cost varies massively, but I would be looking for quality and durability of the work rather than price (within reason).

It's not a job you want to do very often! Re- decades!

What about getting it wrapped?

A whole car same colour blow over is likely to cost about the same as a good wrap job. Besides, a wrap would not mask paint bubbles, and would likely cause damage in those areas when being removed.

What bodywork warranty do Aston provide? I know Fiats is 12 years.

Might be worth checking. You shouldn't be getting bubbles in the paintwork.

Most recent work I had done was from John Bee on abbeydale road in Sheffield, colour match and minor repair work was excellent - I took it to a detailer afterwards to get rid of the swirls that body shops leave and even he commented on higher colour match being perfect.

Prolly looking at £1k to £10k for a respray, depending on what level of detail is wanted (e.g. engine bay, rust repairs etc.).

Probably a bad idea

I would avoid doing the windows
