This 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage arrived recently in a bit of a sorry state. Having been stored outside and uncovered, the elements had taken their toll on this ‘baby Aston’. Our paint and body team, under our Paint and Body manager Chris, have worked their magic completely reviving this Aston Martin to its former glory.

Chris has done a ‘flat metal’ respray, a technique which involved just flattening down the exisiting paintwork across the body of the car and respraying in the exact same colour – it isn’t just bare metal resprays that the Bridge Classic Cars team can do. After flatening back the original paintwork and address any areas of corrosion, Chris could then primer the entire car before shooting colour and then going through the process of flattening and polishing until the paintwork on the 2000’s Aston Martin sports car looks as good, if not better, than new.
