witch black?

[SS972]

I seek advices as I need to repaint my black 2004 Range Rover daily hack,I fancied the idea of choosing an AM black,as I am thousands of miles away from any black AM,I would like to have your opinion on witch one to choose from Obsidian,Onyx or others and how do they differ.

[DB9VolanteDriver]

'witch' black sounds just about right, don't you think?

[SS972]

LOL

Obsidian black is the internal leather colour.
Three external blacks are onyx, storm and carbon.
My personal fave is storm black!

Bonjour Seb.

My favourite is the carbon black, mainly because of its hue and its sinister looks.

I'm sure it is a special edition colour so may be difficult to source.

The new DBS carbon edition is to be available in three colours.....with a MATT option too.

Click on colour retrieval on this site, and the key words are Aston Martin....about 24 blacks to look at...

Storm black is the softest paint in the range. Stone chips ahoy!! My fave colour too though

Interesting; in ye olden times of yore, Moonraker black was the softest of TVR paints. It was stunning though! Wonder if they're the same..?

I have a 2004 RR daily hack too ....in black

Onyx black is wasted on a RR though, as mine is rarely clean and you can only see the flake in sunlight on a nice day when its clean

so storm black it has to be

[SS972]

Merci for the all the replies,
as I live in the west indies the weather is sunny all year round so Onyx could do it but as I am lazy at cleaning cars,bare the DB9,would go for Storm,any more ideas?
Otherwise we are organising a meet like the Brookland or Trinity on the 15 of april near Lyon wheere I will be present with the DB7V,we should have around ten AM present,anyone intrested by a week end in one of the best known region of France for gastronomy?

Interesting... I will be in Beaune that day having a stop off on the way to Grenoble and then down the Route Napoleon into Monte Carlo.

Same country but not quite near enough sadly, would be nice to meet some French enthusiasts

Could be worth a mod to your route,would love to see you car in the flesh and meet you,just checked the intinary and it is only 1.5 hour drive (at legal french speed,or a lot less with your BR prep new engine!!!),think about it.

If I recall correctly:
Jet Black - non metallic
Onyx Black - large silver flakes
Storm Black - red flakes
Carbon Black - blue flakes

Actually it's a Satin option. Although why anyone would tick that box is beyond me.

Check this out for the different paint colours - http://www.astonmartin.com/colour-trim

Think I will settle on Storm as it seem to be the most favored one,will let you know when done,mid march,when back from our AM meet in central France.
Thanks to all

What's the difference Georgio ?? I think between the lines that your issue is with a 'dead flat-matt'.

As I intimated a few months ago, I believe matt / satin finishes to be far superior to gloss. Hence the option
