@fkp yes I have changed the paint code to Championship White as said by @hashims Bhai I really like the idea. Just wanted to know is there seperate base code for each specific Paint code ?

Experts opinion needed fast.

I want to go for championship white but the denter suggested that as I'm not going for the complete inside out shower the change in shade wouldn't look good as the chassis and the inside body color would differ and look bad. Is it true? I don't think one would notice? Keeping in mind ill keep the car for next 3 years In Sha Allah.

What do u guys suggest should I go for championship white from outside?

Hi bro, good going out there, well if i had white ill def go for champion white, paint the whole car expect engine bay, it will look good. Rest u dnt need to paint the bay. Ask ur painter to "paint entire car n keep ur suggestion with youself"

Thanks for your very kind words @shazo bhai, I needed experts opinion before saying anything to him, now I can, thank you so much.

One more thing, is there any specific base paint for the championship white or all are same?

As your car is already white, i dnt believe you need any base coat, base coat only use to give paint original shade, ill share championwhite shade code, simply get that from dupont dealers same formula which comes with that shade code, do not make any changing in it.
Rest if body wise car is in good nick, do not scratch it to bare metal, use sand papers/paint remover to remove the paint, do not let him use blade to scratch the body.

Absolutely right that's what I'm doing, no scratching, just using paint remover to remove the paint, cars body is in real good nick, its original first time it's getting any paint job.

I know the shade code i.e NHO, please just confirm it bro and tell me.

Update:

Denting is almost done, tomorrow is the final day and by evening the sand papering and filling of small dents will be done and In Sha Allah and day after tomorrow, paint job will be done, and while I'm talking about paint, I have chosen CHAMPIONSHIP WHITE (NHO) as suggested by many members, you guys are really helpful. Updating the pictures, nothing major but I should upload them :p.

Oh and yeah, I showed my car to suspension mechanic, he says all four shocks along with springs and some axle joints need to be changed.

Price he is offering me are:

All four shock Kabuli for 8000 along with springs, 2000 each. Is he offering me the right price? And suggest me some nice suspension mechanic here in Karachi so I can pay him a visit too.

Now pictures

P.S: sorry for real bad pictures, forgot my phone at home, tomorrow I'll post some real clear and close shots. Till then, enjoy :3. Xx

Denting is completed, and we are half way through the next stage, filling has been almost done, and the car is now in its very shape now, today sand papering will start to roughen and balance the car all over and tomorrow the painting will start. Pics:
