Re: DIY Suggestions

Hi garry,

First of all I would like to ask whether you have all painting equipments?
Painting compressor is required and if we do by ourselves it will not look good and finishing will not be so neat. It has some procedures too.

It is better to do at work shop. Or else our professionals will help you.

ADS99@ Bro I know getting professional finish is tough DIY but yes not impossible. I did the front fender(LEFT SIDE) myself on which the paint was brushed out by and auto rickshaw... Don't have the before pic but you can see the finished touch.

Re: DIY Suggestions

You have done a wonderful job. I think so you have all equiment for painting. [clap]But it looks little dull. Good job buddy.
It is metal so it worked very well.
When you do in bumper use plastic pramer first then do painting.

You dont need suggestions because, you have done a good job.

First of all, let me give you a round of [clap] for that shining black beauty.

Yes the painting job can be done as DIY, but it all depends on the equipment available.

Re: DIY Suggestions For Painting Body Colored Bumpers

@Garry Welcome to TAI

If you get a painter that can do one bumper for Rs 1000/- also is a bargain, its good to see that you want to do a DIY but if you can get it for a less price you might want to spend rather than doing it yourself

Again its your choice, not trying to kill your DIY spirit

Please do post pics after the DIY

Re: DIY Suggestions For Painting Body Colored Bumpers

guys i was just surfing the net about how to increase the power of Alto's Engine. came across this link

How to increase maruti alto's power? - Yahoo! Answers India

please check and want to know does that really work?
Yes the free flow intakes and exhaust do have a significant positive effect in terms of power and efficiency but the difference is hardly noticeable. Although you can mate these with other mods like ported and polished piston heads and throttle body or a remaped ecu to get a punch out of your engine.

Regarding this flashing of the ecu thing, I have a doubt that it would ever work, I may be wrong because I have never heard if this[surprise].

You have to remove the bumpers to paint them, also you need to buy paint, spraying gun and compressor(if you dont have). Better you can try with small garages, they should charge you 2K-3K for the job.

I too want to have body colored bumpers. Please advise on how much it would cost here in Bangalore.
Also, I advise on reliable shops from where I can buy some car accessories, like Alloys, rear spoiler, rear view mirror etc.
Thanks in advance [:)]
