Re: Painting Alto ORVM
It is more suitable for metal parts.
If painted directly on fiber/plastic parts it may peel off on power water service and on exposure of sunlight for a long period.
Normally a chemical treatment is done to the plastic/fiber parts before painting, and it is advisable in this case too.

Re: Painting Alto ORVM
actually there is a small color difference. only track with naked eye. but impossible to identify the difference in digital photo.
this is alto 800 not k10
price 400 SLR
paint made in china
The colour of the ORVM matches well with the rest of the car. Sorry for my poor knowledge but is this a K10? Can you please mention the approximate market price of those Spray paints?

Re: Painting Alto ORVM
So did you also apply the plastic primer ?
Any way, the mirror looks good now, why not paint the door handles too ?
