My hubby decided to spray paint our old car. It is still in good condition after 6 years but there are scratches here and there. Honda is a reliable brand, hardly got any major problem. We do maintain it probably and service it constantly.
A few years back, I was tempted get a Honda Civic, but the trade in price wasn’t very attractive. Later we decided that we do not need a new car but put the extra money into some investments. I kind of like the previous design but not the current one as the back doesn’t look as grand. I heard the new Camry looks better and very spacious. Let see how Honda tops that. If ever I strike a lottery, I may buy a Honda Accord.
I must say the mechanic did a good job of spraying the car. He put a special coat on top and baked it to make it shinier and longer lasting. Another mechanic quoted us cheaper but he is spraying it in his backyard with no garage. We pay a little more so that the color will maintain for another few good years. If you want to spray paint your car in Penang, let me know, I can recommend you my mechanic.
Anyway, my hubby took some pictures of the before and after look.
eh, I noticed most Penang lang prefer Honda car, is that becos of Boon Siew, other than the quality issue? 😆
During my last trip to Penang, I also see lotsa Honda car on the road, that was 5 year back lar. Even all my course mate who from Penang also drive Honda to college…
wah! so shiny and new oredi. have to wear sunglasses to read this entry oredi 😎
Since you like CRV, why not get the new one? 😉
I prefer Toyota 🙂 Nearly my whole family’s using Toyota here *hehhe*

Hi there, heard alot about you from my mom (Tracy of tracy-elydes.blogspot). I’m new on this blogging thing and hope to meet as many friends as my mom as possible.. if not more.. 🙂
I go to Penang about 2 to 3 times a year and I too notice that there are lotsa lotsa people driving Hondas there. Hehe lotsa rich people in Penang too…
Do drop by my blog when you’re free ya.. http://sweetchamber.blogspot.com/
Take care!

Sometimes respraying old car is better if everything else is still good. Buying a new car means you will be in liabilities again and more repayments to make.
Jess: It is either between Toyota or Honda.
Duckie :Make sure you wear your sunglasses when you come visit us. :giggles:
Giddy Tiger: Someone just tempted me with a 80K second hand CRV. Anyway car is a liability, it depreciate very fast. It is probably the last priority in my list of wants.
Sue, Jazz: Which Toyota do you like?
Papi: I wonder does it cost as much for a small car as compare to a standard car?
Elyss: Welcome welcome…thanks for the comments too.
Julian: Yes, cars depreciate faster than the loan installments. Those people taking more than 5 years old, will end up owing the bank even after selling off the car. :think:
Hmm…I love Honda cars ler… if I ever strike a lottery or get a better job, I would definitely get a Honda. 🙂 Meanwhile spraying an old car is a wise decision.
In Sabah, you can see Toyota all around..especially Hilux and Ninja King..I just don’t know why people so affortable to buy a “house” and running on road..Ninja King costs double my Puchong house..
Allyfeel: Yeap, spraying is what I can afford now.
Huisia: Sabah ppl very rich. Hahaha…car can drive around to show off mah, house cannot. 🙂
Yeah, Penang ppl just loves Honda, Toyota and Nissan!
We are also shopping for a car for me (high time to start driving)… and we have narrowed down to these 3 brands… but i only want 2nd hand coz phobia later kena langgar! LOL
Our 7+ yr old Iswara Aeroback is also in workshop for banging and respraying plus front window replacement due to crack. Old car but still ok. Just ‘kautim’ 7 years loan so save the money to touch up the whole car….See how is it after 10 days…
