    What a load of old twaddle:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    They use the same ICI/Max Meyer/Glasurit paints and the same techniques as other quality refinishers.

    There are quite a few classic car restorers who can achieve as good or even better finish than the original manufacturers;)


    This +1.


    Paint jobs for all these 'premium' cars like Aston, Ferrari, RollsBently or whatever they're called all use same method of painting cars as any other car manufacturer. Same quality paint, same method, same layers. You are paying more for the badge. Like I said before ladies and gentlemen the power of MARKETING is amazing

    Have you seen the quality control carried out on an Aston Martins paint job?

    I'll take that as a no unless you're going to claim the same is done in the Dacia factory on a 5 grand car.

    Poppy shot, fibbo fabble. When will we learn that marketing and gimmicks can easily fool the innocent?


    No I haven't and I don't think most people have. What is the difference? Oh the workshop is a lot more expensive and made from gold walls?


    Its all nonsense, how do you think these fancy car brands make a profit?

    I've not seen any Aston marketing gimmicks, in fact I haven't even seen an advertisement on TV.

    What's the difference? Same as other premium brands, it'll do won't pass.

    I haven't seen any go,d plated walls in the factory. Did you see any when you were there?

    SO you are questioning me on whether I have seen the paint job of an Aston Martin yet you haven't even seen their marketing adverts?!
    Provide me with concrete proof that these premium brands use superior paint and have a different method of playing it to your bog standard car and I will believe you...

    So if you have seen production why can't you elaborately explain what the actual difference is in their paint method that makes it better? Better paint? More layers? Which is it?
