Bharat Auto Paints

You can find Bharat Auto Paints at No.-267 on 12th Cross. It’s on Vindapappa Gowda Road in the Eg Pura area. We’ve been operating out of this small space for a good while. The shop is mostly filled with shelves of paint cans and mixing tools. We spend a lot of time trying to match colors for cars and bikes that have been scratched or need a touch-up. It’s a lot of looking at color chips and mixing small amounts until it looks right. The road outside can get quite narrow and busy, especially with all the two-wheelers zooming past. We don’t have a big showroom. It’s more of a workspace where customers come in with a piece of a bumper or a fuel tank and ask if we can match the shade. Sometimes the lighting in the shop isn't great, so we have to step out onto the pavement to check the color in the sunlight. We get a lot of local mechanics coming in for supplies. It’s a bit cramped inside because we try to keep a lot of stock. There’s usually a bit of dust on the cans that haven’t been moved in a while. We aren't trying to be a big corporate chain. It’s just a local shop where we know how to mix paint. Some days are slow and we just sit by the door, and other days everyone seems to need something at once. We don't bother with fancy displays or anything like that here.
