2019 Aston-Martin Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Aston-Martin Vibe

Welcome to 2019, where Aston-Martin decided that more was definitely more. With a database of 20 colors for this year alone, it's clear the Gaydon factory was busy. Whether you were piloting a Vantage, a DB11, or the beastly DBS Superleggera, you had a rainbow of high-gloss options. From the Bond-approved classic of Skyfall Silver 1 Metallic to the "look at me" screaming vibrance of Madagascar Orange or Sunburst Yellow Pearl Tricoat, these cars weren't just transport-they were rolling jewelry. The vibe was all about modern performance meets legacy luxury, and the paint palette reflected that with deep pearls like Mariana Blue and the moody Maroon Black Pearl Metallic.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: we are firmly in the Thin Paint Era. Back in the day, we'd lay it on thick, but by 2019, those factory robots were programmed for maximum "efficiency." This means your clear coat is exceptionally thin-it's there for a good time, not necessarily a long time. You might notice "pizza" blisters or tiny bubbles around the door handles or the edges of the boot. That's often down to microscopic contaminants trapped under that razor-thin factory finish or galvanic reactions where aluminum meets steel. Worse yet, because the layers are so lean, a single pebble on the highway can slice right through Cobalt Blue Metallic down to the primer before you've even hit third gear.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2019 Aston, you have to fight the urge to "fill the hole" in one go. Because these modern finishes are so thin, a big "blob" of paint will sit on the surface like a sore thumb and won't level out properly. Build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tipped applicator to dab a paper-thin layer, let it flash off, and repeat. You want to mimic that robot-applied precision. If you're working with those high-impact pearls like Stratus White Pearl, remember that the "depth" comes from the stack, not the thickness of a single drop. Take your time, feather the edges, and don't rush the clear-patience is the only way to keep that 2019 shine looking factory-fresh.
