Don't think so. If it's water-based paint and the owners acts quickly a body repair garage could clean the car. Oil based paint could require stronger chemicals to remove the paint.

The retrofit is aftermarket but helps take age of the dated and horrible infotainment. Both the Virage and DBS have dropped to attainable prices in the UK.

I absolutely adore my DBS. It’s properly old school - manual box, comfort, and DIY friendly. 3 years of ownership, no issues.

Probably just me, but the DB9 has aged gracefully, especially the DBS.
