Jeepster, Hammerton paint wasnt that expensive. I think it costed me below 1000 Rs including labour charges.

Because of rains and some renovation work in the garage it took 3 months to complete the paint job.

Gypsyboy, I was referring to the silver hammerton paint done on the platform. Not the exterior paint. Hammerton is kind of rust proofing paint.
