DB12
Status: Complete
The dealership desired the Black Calipers to be repainted red.
We stepped off the starting line by sealing up the entire vehicle in plastic to prevent potential overspray before we even began sanding and preparing for red paint.
The process is not complicated, but it requires patience (and paint skills) to complete and make it look factory-fresh.
History
and Facts

The Martin part of the name comes from Lionel (a keen racing driver), whilst the Aston part comes from Aston Hill, where numerous Motorsport events occurred.
