Paint question...
I am looking at an AM and the exterior color is listed as Meteorite Silver HB...I've never seen "HB" listed before, any info. is appreciated.
Additionally I know there are "high build" primers and have seen "heavy body" paints listed, is it either one of these?

I own a 14' Volcano red Vantage.
Are all modern Aston paints water based?
My understanding is that all modern cars use water based paints
Thanks

Could that be the reason my 2009 Meteorite Silver is AST1344D vs all others are AST1344
