Modern Paint House

Modern Paint House has been sitting here in the Mewad Motor Kanda Complex on Link Road for quite a while now. If you're looking for us, you’ll find us right near all the car shops and motor parts places that fill up this part of the road. It gets pretty noisy with the traffic and the sound of mechanics working nearby, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. Our days usually start with us opening up the shutters and dusting off the cans. Paint has a way of gathering dust if it sits for even a day. We spend most of our time mixing up different shades for folks who come in with a specific idea in their head. Sometimes it’s hard to get the color exactly right, but we do our best with the machines we have. The shop isn't anything fancy to look at, just rows and rows of tins and some brushes hanging on the wall. We don’t have air conditioning, so in the summer, it gets a bit stuffy inside, and we end up sitting outside on plastic chairs just to catch a breeze from the road. People stop by to chat as much as they do to buy paint. We know the other shop owners in the complex, and we often share a cup of tea in the afternoons when things slow down. It’s a simple way to spend the day, just selling paint and talking to neighbors on Link Road.
