Dear fellow membersAs you can see in the attached pictures, the paint on the doors and hood is getting peeled off or getting cracked. When I got this vehicle, it didn't show any such a thing, but now this paint looks quite bad. My own observation suggests that whole hood is repainted and repainted in poorest possible way. Both doors have been painted, again by an annari. I'm thinking to replace the hood as it will be very difficult to bring it back to shape. Should I go for kabli hood available in market with minor touche ups or I should go for a fresh piece (said to be Malaysian/Taiwanese)?I would go with same doors just looking for good painter.Any painter other than dealership in Islamabad/Rawalpindi who could give a good finish?
You can go to National Market in Satellite Town, Rawalpindi to Rehman Autos and I'm sure that he'll get the job done of your liking.
Hope it helps.
Can you share any cell phone no. please
PM'd.
I would suggest you to go for a new hood if you wanna keep the car for longer period. As, this hood is repainted and it has been done with a huge amout of "Pouteen" and it may cracks due to heat or may be next summer sunshine.
New hood (said to be Malaysian/Taiwanese) is around 12000 and that of kabli one is around 15000.
I'd suggest you to go for Taiwanese.
Taiwan / Malaysian ones don't have a 100% fitting but they are good. I got one for a rs.12000 in March. At that time kabuli/japani was costing around 24,000.
Here's a link to a car I restored. Check the hood
I was already following your post dear. My car is present generation, I'm getting new bonet in 12000. Do you think it wouldn't also fit?
It will definitely fit. The gaps and lines are a bit un even. If your denter is good he can definitely minimize the difference.
