Joy, very informative indeed. . Now, how was the colour match? Does he follow company shade card, the RC book colour code or just "chaalu model" match, considering yours is an Innova? When you say reputed paint shop, what was the brand : Glasurit, Sikkens, DuPont, ICI....? Does he employ a "color matcher" ustaad-ji or does some random guy mix colors by trial and error? After the finish: pin holes? Orange peel? The mica/metal effect? Does he use primer before paint or direct paint over filler? Was he working on dark colored cars as well? Sorry I could not help but ask so many questions. Here in Indirapuram we have a congress of baboons, setting up "danter panter" shops at random, "ujing 3AM pant" (God knows since when 3M made paint) ![]() Last edited by lapis_lazuli : 13th April 2014 at 20:10. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() hi lapis_lazuli - my answers in red... hope these answer your questions. Quote:
![]() But do glance through the colour match process here in this thread. Yes, I prefer to buy my own materials when it comes to my car. Quote:
Ramesh will normally source his paint from RM Paint, or from Sukhdev Market, Kotla. Either way, you are better off ensuring that you are involved in the paint procurement process. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Here's something that you may wish to know of...I had a slight dent on the running board of the Innova's passenger side. When I showed it to Ramesh, he mentioned a challenge - that the running board is double skinned, and there's no access to the outer skin. The only way to get access would be to tear a small hole in the side, and use that to insert a screwdriver and use that as a pry bar to remove the dent. Once the work was done he would smoothen the tear , and apply body filler and paint it over. Estimated cost Rs 1000/- and estimated time - 6-8 hours. I went over to the main dealer. They had this slide hammer which by the way could also pull dents because it spot welded on to the metal. Estimated cost: Rs 2100/- and estimated time 6-8 hours. Since the main dealer option did not require a tear to be made, I went ahead with this option. What I am trying to say is, use Ramesh for the easier dent-paint jobs where access is easy. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Unfortunately not for the Innova. But Ramesh did fix my Santro's door - at a spot where the door is double skinned. Here's a post with the photo of the damage before the fix. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...ml#post3043390 |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Sorry to report that Ramesh ji is no more. May the departed soul Rest In Peace. He has incidentally left no heir to carry on his good work. His colleagues are still available at the same location. I am requesting the mods to close this thread. |
