God I love Aston's, so beautiful and sexy!

Did you know, Aston martin will paint to sample, paint the car any color you want, at extra cost, even if it is from another car make, so you can get a Aston Martin painted the exact Lexus GFM if you wanted to!

Nice to see Aston take after Lexus. However, they probably didn't even know about GFM.

The GFM color on my car still gets more comments from people than anything else. I find the word "abalone" (shell) describes it best. Only downside is trying to match this on repainting.

Have you GFM people noticed that the color attracts a lot of BUGS? My car always seems to attract a lot more bees and other random flying insects than any other car around it... or any other car I've owned.

I love AM's, but the thing I hate the most is the pathetic key fob sourced from a Volvo parts bin...
