2024 Aston-Martin Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The 2024 Aston-Martin Vibe

Welcome to the era of the "Super Tourer" and the high-performance SUV. Whether it's the DB12, the refreshed Vantage, or the DBX707, 2024 is all about presence. The palette we've got in the shop reflects that-24 distinct flavors of "look at me." We're seeing a massive shift toward the "flat-but-expensive" look like China Gray, which sits right next to those high-voltage pearls like Yellow Tang and Diavolo Red. It's a sophisticated time, sure, but don't let the Kopi Bronze Pearl fool you-underneath that shimmer, the factory was all about the stopwatch and the bottom line.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold truth from the booth: we are deep in The Thin Paint Era. Back in the day, a luxury finish was thick enough to sand for a week. In 2024, these Astons are painted by robots programmed for "maximum efficiency." That means the clear coat is applied with the precision of a laser, but it's thinner than a gym membership agreement. It looks like glass on the showroom floor, but out in the wild, the clear coat is a sacrificial lamb. One stray pebble at 180mph on the M1 and you aren't just looking at a chip; you're looking at a crater. These modern finishes are beautiful, but they have zero "meat" on their bones.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2024 finish, you have to respect the robot. Because the factory layers are so thin, a heavy-handed "blob" of paint will stand out like a sore thumb against that flat, high-tech surface. Therefore, the rule is: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. If you're filling a chip in Morning Frost White or Storm Black, use a micro-applicator to apply a paper-thin layer, let it flash, and repeat. You want to bring the level up gradually until it's flush with the surrounding clear coat. If you try to do it in one shot, you'll end up with a high spot that's a nightmare to level without burning through the paper-thin factory clear around it.
