First thing I want to change the colors, it is now dark blue color, I am thinking of making it dark and orange colors..
I need some suggestions guys on what to do to make it perfect looking..

To change colour, you will need to first get a NOC from the Muroor (Traffic Police).

Where can one get this done? There are a bunch of places. There is the MTV-fame West Coast Customs that have a garage here if you are willing to pay the price.

Quartermile on SZR also do this - again a bit pricey.

P.S: Which Lada is your dream tide? ;)

is this a manual spray paint place, or one of those fancy units that do it like the factory?

Yeah! I got it now. Saw some pics of the 'foiling'. Wonder what happens to the paint underneath once you un-foil? I guess you will need to re-foil with the original color.

From what I've heard, the paint underneath remains perfect. The whole purpose of foiling would be defeated if it damaged the original paint.

lumina ss got a great engine but a crappy 4-speed gearbox, so its not exactly the holden monaro they sell in australia, its been made into a cheaper car and sold here.
better get the chevy csv or the mustang gt. do note new mustang is going to come out so prices of the current model will drop.


as for painting a car in dubai, check sara auto care, performance garage dubai, proshine all in the al quoz area, google and you might get their websites.
