    The paint is made of platinum and gold

    No, Aston Martin use proper paint and will build many more layers than your average car re-sprayer.

    Further complicated by the fact when the DB7 was assembled and not built by them so they lost a lot of there tradesman/skills to do it in house. When they started building their own cars again they took them all back freelance.

    So they put plaster board and use a couple of layers of Delux premier paint

    Because they're c****


    No need to say anymore about why. This sums it up perfectly.

    I hope the child is protected as clearly there are safeguarding concerns with the Father's behaviour. The child might be put into care or subject to a child in need plan.

    £9,000 worth of damage??

    What did you expect - a £4.99 rattle-can from Halfrauds? :p

    It'll likely need at least 3 or 4 complete panels re-done and colour matched.

    And it'll be in the paint-shop for at least a week.

    Well as he was filmed, it should be fairly easy to identify the person and get them charged and maybe the insurance can chase them for the bill. I say 'should'; of course the police might say 'insufficient evidence' or whatever.
