You get a very shiny finish on a car by having factory facilities, 100% dustfree, and building up many coats, using correct paints in correct order ---and having correct skills!

Your repainted car should look good, but maybe not quite like it just came from the factory.

Are they gonna remove the doors, bonnet and fender for painting or just paint it in the same fixed position??

But why are they removing the parts. The color on these removed parts and the repainted parts will certainly look different. Why don't they paint the whole body? By doing this, the paint will be even through the body of car.

I do not think the brakes on the NHC are bad.

manikjeet · 17th December 2007, 21:22

The car received its final coat of paint and only fitting is left will get the car by tomorrow evening

Jeep · 19th December 2007, 16:15

That's scary! You mean someone put grease instead of engine oil???

abhibh · 19th December 2007, 21:05

Manik put grease in engine oil to increase the performance of the car!!! His car autocuts in 2nd gear at 65 and doesnt go above 110.

Did the grease improve the performance ??

PatienceWins · 19th December 2007, 21:38

Congrats Manik. Drive carefully and treat her well!!

I do not understand why someone would put grease in engine oil.
