Discovered a half in long nick towards the bottom of one of the doors on my car and wanted to get some touch up paint in White Stone.

But looking around online, there seems to be a host of aftermarket options and only Astonmartinbits.com selling what appears to be actual OEM touch up paint. I reached out to the dealer and they were able to get me a bottle of touch up paint from the certified auto shop they use, but I tested it out on a piece of paper and it doesn't seem to match at all. There's none of the metallic bits as there is in the factory paint.

What have you guys used with success on your Aston? Is it worth it to get the factory OEM paint and is there anywhere else to get it besides Astonmartinbits.com? I'm sure it's fine but the site isn't exactly designed to look trustworthy... Also waiting for a shipping quote but just $110 USD for touch up paint seems nutty!

Non-OEM Paint kits — any good ones you'd recommend? I've seen Chipex recommended before too, but they don't seem to have this particular color.

The damage is pretty small so I'm guessing whatever I end up using will be fine... but this is definitely triggering my OCD 😬

 

Not sure if it is true but my dealer toll look f me AM does not supply touch up paint as a factory part.

 

I would email Chipex directly and I’m sure they can mix White Stone for you.

 

I used a kit from Amazon called color and drive... it was about $50 or so lots of factory colors

 

Try: automotivetouchup.com or paintscratch.com I've used both with good results.

These are both U.S suppliers. Your location is not indicated in your signature.

 

I also used Color and Drive (colorndrive.com) to get a color that is a bit rare (Toro Red) It came in a nice little kit $39.99

 

I can say with that I was VERY pleasantly surprised with my order from Scratcheshappen.com
I took a leap of faith and the color was a perfect match..

 

I used paintscratch for a replacement bumper plug on my 9. Their berwick bronze was a near perfect match.

 

My Vantage is painted a Rolls-Royce color and the only place I could find that would make the paint was Chipex. It was a perfect match.

 

For use of these 2 products, any before and after pictures (even if hard to see for online pics)? I had ordered Morning Frost from colorndrive as a back up to getting the Morning Frost color bumper plugs to fill drilled holes on a recently purchased DB9. Luckily the bumper plug color was enough of a match to my eye and did not try the paint as I didn't want to open for no reason.
