why do you want to order steering cover online get it done at accessories shop you will have verity plus reasonable rates.. and painting work you should visit a local garage they will do it properly with good finish...dont buy or hire its a waste of time

You are right.Lets see where i buy the steering wheel cover.In my locality,there are no garages;plus one day while travelling in a bus,I saw a local garage tinker painting a taxi(ambassador) with paintbrush!

Nice thread. As some of the experts suggested please stay away from 'jugaads' (hacks) like enamel painting the parts, handmade 'Maruti' sticker etc. It will bring down the good effect of your other valuable efforts. BTW that M800 replica is looking too new to be made 6-7 years ago. You preserved it very well ( From your posts, you made it when you were 5 years old and now you are in 7th grade). Thumbs up for your spirit and DIYs .

Matt/Gloss black colors are available in aerosol cans, which are easier to use and less headache than renting compressor and painting.

Thanks a lot...actually,I had to made the Hindi Maruti sticker as its not available with the MASS.I planned to remove it as soon I get the original Maruti sticker.Yes, I am a big fan of the 1st gen Maruti 800 and hope to own it someday.The only free time to start my painting lessons is March-the school session break.
Its my introduction thread..made it yesteray.

Get on cut from sticker shop. We know you are doing the temporary job because of your excitement/limitations, but it will end up looking sore on a third guy's view.

That logo is rare no doubt, but 700 bucks is daylight robbery. The total cost of those spares isnt more than 100 rupees.

@Shrijit
Bro try old spare part shops. The oldest and the most boring looking dirty shop you visit, the more are the chances of finding the stickers/logos.
