1964 Aston Martin DB5

This 1964 Aston Martin DB5 arrived as a complete, running, and driving vehicle. The customer—who prefers to remain private—brought it to us in green metallic, with the goal of returning it to the iconic James Bond-style silver finish. However, the existing paintwork showed signs of poor quality, including visible handprints and areas where the paint was lifting. Because of these issues, we decided to strip the paint down to bare metal, which required a full disassembly of the car. Working with the DB5’s magnesium panels demanded extra care due to the material's sensitivity. Fortunately, no major metalwork was needed. We simply improved panel alignment and addressed a few minor dents—no welding was required. After prepping the surface, the car was put into high-build primer, painted, and then fully reassembled. While the project didn’t involve major structural work, it was still a significant undertaking: full disassembly, meticulous surface prep, a complete refinish, and careful reassembly. No surprises—just a classic car brought back to its proper finish.
