The last paint booth chosen had also issues with its oven unit. So finally decided to move the car to Suzuki motors paint booth in Saddar area. It is totally functional and is aided with a standby generator.

Car is towed and moved on its way to the paint booth.

Yes Babar Brother you are absolutely right. AS per standard it should be on right side for right handed vehicle. But this was my own preference to put it on the left side, as I have some other plans in connection with it. And secondly with the silencer tip right below this light is something that don't look good to me.

Thanks Waqas brother for such heart warming remarks :). Yes in deed it is a moment of triumph. I have also recorded its video. Its looks very fascinating when the fumes/spray mist is attracted downwards by the inhalers below the mesh on the floor.
There was time when the car presented a deserted look when it was totally stripped and its now when it puts a smile on the face of on looker MashaAllah.

The door moldings and rear license plate garnish both are in their original finish not painted. I think you mistakenly included the side mirrors in the list as they are painted from the factory with matching body color. So one have to color them for cleaner looks.

waiting for the final outcome
