| Re: My Maruti Suzuki SB308 Restoration (1986 Model) Adhil, I have mailed to Maruti asking for the color code, as even my car needs to be restored before January as it needs to go for fitness test. So even i need the exact paint code of Apple Red and the company which supplied it during 1986. But your AIO's red is a bit lighter shade to AHY.
I have checked with Dupont, they have Apple Red color, code is MU-100 but its bit darker and not the exact Apple Red.
So i do tell don't trust the color i have shared blindly, we need to go for the actual color for that we need to know the company which supplied the paint for Maruti in 1986, 87, 88 in India.
And i guess Saint German Red look more good to Apple Red.
I have got the straight grill, now need to get the white beeding and Center Wheel Caps Chrome, Wiper Clamp.
I would need your help as i have check with MGP here in Trivandrum and not getting parts some parts.

You are right we cant trust shade codes and painters  hope MGP reply to your mail  My previous painter spoiled my car shade as I trusted him he said he will get same shade but shade was totally changed and quality to as I was not there while purchasing color.
Regarding Parts definitely I will help you |

| Re: My Maruti Suzuki SB308 Restoration (1986 Model) Hello everyone. I've been to this thread lately and must say people are still in love with such an iconic car.
Specially Adil, brother that's a superbly maintained 800 of yours. It really shows the hard work you have put in to restore her back to original.
I own a 1986 800 too and the car is with us from the start. Being driven by my dad and later by me in all these years, she has clocked more than 1.5 lacs on the ODO. Over the time few cosmetic changes have been done like the type 2 rims, type 2 front grill, dark colored door pads etc.
However rusty old rims, slightly cracked type-1 grill(without logo) are still kept safely as I wish to restore her back to original again. |

| Re: My Maruti Suzuki SB308 Restoration (1986 Model) Correction to my above post: the car has done 3.5 lacs on the ODO. A major typing error in my very first post of TAI. |
