Thanks a lot brother, means a lot to me .

The bumpers of my car are repaired, they were original so went to repair them instead of getting new ones for 2000, they are hard plastic and they break very easily.
If the bumper is original and just in bad shape i have a bumper person for that too, i paid 1000 to him for the bumper adjustment (both) including all clips, NO SCREWS at all in body

I'll message you the details of the painter, mention him my name, wo samajh jayega ke kesa kaam chaiye

Please share pictures & other details like Repairer who used to repair your Bumper.
Also MAshallah your car now looks more shiny so kindly share brand of paint used. Recently my rear bumper & fender also got repainted but shine is not as per my expectations

[sarm4d]

Thanks for the details , and specially the tip
Btw I got my front bumper changed for 3000 a year ago, old model shaped. New model shape costed 1100 I guess, at that time. But painter ne mazay ka kaam nae kiya !

I"ll share pictures of mine after a wash- for valuable suggestions

Brother the Bumper person is near SADAR GOL CHAKKAR (Dharampura), his name is Shahbaz (0322-4850301) he is very professional in his work.

Regarding the paint, i have no clue as he bought two different paint tins to show me the difference between local and imported paint. the local one was used for base coat while the imported (as per him) was showered at the final stages before lacquer.

For shine, what i have noticed is that LACQUER is the main thing which gives the shine and reflecting property to paint, you can see in the pictures above that before lacquer the paint looks like it is MATT finish

Not having pictures of the bumper repair work as my younger brother got the work done while i was in office. But you can see the difference between Before and After

@nfsmostwanted

Your bumper work is awesome. If u would go to Suzuki 3S , they would simply refuse by saying"Bumper is finished" but your guy has done superb job.
Love it

Yes, i took the car to 3s to get the AC work done, he straight away gave me an estimate of 15k ( 5k for the condenser just because the FAN wasnt working and other bla bla expenses)

I came home , took a plier and just pulled the grill outwards which was restricting the fan to rotate, THATS IT! it hardly took me 10 minutes! BUT HE STRAIGHT AWAY ASKED ME TO CHANGE IT

[Djaymx]

What the actual.. f! I went to punjab car AC to get mine fixed and they said it only needs cleaning and we will add complimentary gas (it was only ten points low) and cleaned the outer grill as well, AC is now Brrrr.. even in mid day, all for 2000. Keeping in mind i never serviced the AC ever since i got the car in dec-2015 and i have no idea how long ago the previous owner got the ac serviced.

Edit: I’m having a minor alternator issue, it’s not fully charging the battery or gets below 12V under full load (AC, Fan at speed 3, Headlights and Radiator Fan) when standing at a stop i have to turn down the ac fan on lowest speed so the voltage stays above 12V , without any load the alternator works perfectly and shows 14.2V, i had starting issues at first but i replaced the battery and never had the same issue again since six months, but morning voltage is 11.6-11.8V nominal, it should be atleast 12.4-12.6V iirc, any suggestions cultus gurus.

[nfsmostwanted]

Never went to PUNJAB AC , the thing i hate the most about them is that they place a sticker on the back of your car without you even knowing about it , thats a separate debate. i might go to them in a few days as i got the AC checked from a roadside AC person, he told me that only the gas is less .
Last time i got my cars work done from Suzuki and it went great , Now i might try PUNJAB AC or will get the remaining gas filled by anyone .

Here we go, was not having time to get the car compound after getting showered!
finally after 2 busy months got the time to get her compounded

you can see the results, orange peel BEFORE and AFTER

[brownrose78]

Please tell your method of Compounding, also tell us products used and their charges

[nfsmostwanted]

Dear Brother, the method was purely DESI , as the painters do,he first used SAND PAPER of higher number and sanded the whole car , after that he used some local compound and rubbed it off with a polisher. NOTHING extra was used.

i was therefore wasn't really impressed with these results, so i took the matter in my own hands . i borrowed his polisher, bought GERMAN compound in a tube for 180RS (will see the name) and applied it on the whole car , after that ALHAMDULILLAH i am satisfied with the results.

i will post more pictures, have been busy lately so wasnt able to upload more pics
