Siena:
It's looking good, Piyke.

Are you dong the work yourself, or assisting who ever is?

Piyke:


Thanks Siena.
Was just assisting the guy I paid to get the job done. Not that he needed my assistance, but I had to be eagle-eyed to ensure blemishes were dealt with.

Siena:


I understand.

I just thought as it's your own car, you would have stripped a lot off before paint, so you have minimal masking, and paint edges.

Lights.
Grille.
Bumpers.
Door handles.
Windscreen washer jets.
Aerial.
Side mouldings.
Side windows (you can wind them down, and mask the aperture).

I do painting too, when I have time, and a booth available to rent when required. I strip my car completely, even going as far as removing my doors, trunk, hood and fenders.

If it's being done by a shop, they strip the car too. There is no better way to prep and paint a car.

Piyke:

With our mechanics, the more they strip the car the more broken parts you get. At the end after reinstallation, a bucket full of bolts, nuts and clips would have been left behind and you would wonder if the car was fixed back correctly.

When my friend replaced his 2008 Honda Accord engine a lot of bolts, nuts, clips were missing. The entire air resonator box and its associated parts was missing. Engine mount stop bracket is still missing. Any where there is supposed to be 5 bolts, 3 or 4 are installed. All bolts are torqued till they can no longer move. All clips and grommets are broken or lost at the time of stripping. The mechanic didnt have patience when disconnecting connector for O2 B1S2, they pulled out the harnesses from the the connector. The sensor was destroyed in the process. Coolant hermostat housing was broken. PS oil tank was broken too. Gear shifter cable was broken. The list is endless.

It is a lot safer for us to do what we do. Last time i painted my car, the mechanic forgot a huge metal mallet in the boot liner. I had constant noise which i thought to be a failing rear suspension part. The rear wheel was desembled several times looking for the source of the noise but it turned out to be a mallet left behind.

Coolexty:

I honestly never knew there's oven spray in Asaba. I live in warri and would love to bake my Honda Accord. Could you please send me the address of the place where u baked ur car and also the cost, thanks.

Denn:
Nice job....

obitryce:
There's also an oven bake shop around that market by okumagba estate, where you have the police station. Not familiar with the street name but it connects you to a popular old college around there.

Piyke:


Nope. Asaba, Delta state

melviniyke2002:
pls where in asaba

Piyke:


Address: Doesn't have a house address number, but it's off College of education road. If coming from the Nnebisi end, it's the next left turn after the school gate. Once on this untarred road, its the 2nd green gate on the right.

Cost depends on the level of panel beating your car would require. I paid 60k for the paint job, panel beater charged an additional 5k for his own work.
