ali-turko,

the reason that most of them can't find it on their system is that Midnight Purple III has a special Tinter in it, KK700 which is True Blazberry Prism, this is whats called a Chromalusion Tinter.

you might have seen a car at a car show that changes color on every angle as you walk around it, this is Chromalusion Technology.

so if the Paint shop doesn't have the "Chromal" Quality activated in the Paint Formula retrieval program then the color simply won't be recognised. it is also a 3 layer process. after preperation & primer there are three final processes to achieve the color.

1) an undercoat coat is applied first (ground coat to give the final color its correct effect)

2) base coat (basically the color it's self)

3) then the clear coat

it's an awesome color my mate has it on his GTR up here.

you can ring

Prinz Australia

Unit 1/20- 30 Malcolm Rd Braeside VIC 3195

ph: (03) 9580 3419 Panel Beating Equipment & Supplies

ask for Frank Rugalo (tell him the boys from PNG reccomended him)

PS: he will have to have the "Chromal" paint quality activated in either his Colorquick or Colornet Software.

here's the formular screen dumps. (don't take any notice of the pricing, it's in a different currency)

Ali-turko,

forgot to mention.

although this color has the chromalusion technology tinter in the mix it is not a tru chromalusion color. it will not change from gold to green to purple to blue as you walk around.

that is full chromalusion & be prepared to part with A$1,000 per liter.

just thought i mention that incase you come back & say i said it would change color.

none the less Midnight Purple III is a truly remarkable color, Great Choice!!

BTW, it is DuPont Performance Coating color information i have given here, & apart from Frank at Prinz it can be obtained from any DuPont Performance Coatings outlet in Australia!!

Does anyone have a pic with the colour on the car?

i geting my car resprayed and still havnt decided on a colour... please post one up if you have a pic...

Thanks

raz0r$harP, no worries, happy to be of use! we are the DuPont Performance Coating Distributors for Papua New Guinea, so just hollar if u need paint info :whistling:

Damn that looks Sweet!!!

So that spray job is 1 thousand a litre?

How many litres will it take to cover a R33 GTS-T Series 1?

i have around 5 thousand to for the spray and a little more but they are for rims (Nismo LM GT3 White GTR Rims, $2500)...

Hoiw much would i be faced with if i go the way of that paint + labour?

Edited by jakegts

jakegts,

depends on what you are calling sweet. the nissan color LX0 Midnight Purple III sure is sweet & has some color change on different angles & is probably around $400 or so per liter.

full chromalusion like Absolute Purplene has a dramatic color change, from Purple to Green to Blue to Gold & is much more striking, check this site Nissan Primera GT here http://mysticcobra.net/ogallery2.shtml

but is $1,000 per liter.

also see here

i am guessing at the prices as i am selling in a different currency.

but absolete puplene say 3 liters would be plenty for a GTS-T is $3,000 then another 3 liters of base at probably $150 so another $450, then 3 or 4 liters of premium clear coat say another $500, so your looking at $4,000 ish for materials, without taking Labour into account. depending on weather its a full strip & repaint or a rub back & blow over i reckon youd have to bank on somewhere between A$6,000 & A$10,000

But i really am Guessing, ive lived here for 13 years & not had anything to do with the paint industry in Australia & i don't quote paint jobs here i only sell the stuff, it would pay to go & get a quote from a reputabe repairer, i listed one above in a previous post, or you could ring Dupont Performance Coating direct & ask for you nearest authorised repairer.

sure makes for a hot looking ride.

ali-turko,

i spoke with out DuPont DPR rep thismorning in Brisbane, he agreed that $6-10K is a fair figure for a Chromalusion job. Big Money, but there are other options.

you could go with a Pearlescent job

or if you go to a DPR dealer you can look through all the latest color chips, there are some really cool paint coatings comming out on new vehicles these days that arent chromalusion.

we have a metalic now called XIRALLIC which is basically like the old metalic flake & comes in different sizes but instead of giving off a plain old silver reflection of the sun it gives off multi-coloured reflections & comes in different color undertones.

you really should go & talk to someone, tell them your budget & discuss what you want to acheive.

even your plain std onld nissan black, can be overcoated with say a layer of violet/blue pearl & coarse metalic (or XIRALLIC) flake, then cleared & cleared again but with a bit of Violet tinter (tinted clear) this creates all sorts of different effects! you could use 2 or 3 or even 6 layers of clear to give depth!!

finishing off to is the Key to success spending time on final coating produces great results.

a good shop will be able to do a spray out for you on a piece of metal to show you what your getting before it rolls out of the booth.

don't dismay, you've got many options!

seriously go & talk to a professional painter, he will know what you want!

Hi Guys,

I need some help here. Can someone provide me with the paint formula for the mnp2, LV4 ?  

I looked everywhere on the internet for it and the links above are now broken. Already bought KK760 but need the rest of the formula.

 Thanks

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
