Louie from Xclusive Colours has contacted us to let us know that he has finally settled into his new shop. He has been a good supporter of the Club and for that matter of the members of the forums too really.

Louie does absolutely top quality work with many autosalon winners to his name and yet for some reason is actually quite cheap. He can also do all insurance work and will work closely with you to make sure you get the best outcome from the insurance companies as possible.

On top of all this he is a really nice guy as well and has had mucho bad luck with business partners and landlords in the past. He has now signed an 8 year lease so he can finally settle down and do what he does best, paint cars.

His new address is 12 Cumberland Hwy, Smithfield and phone number 9756 6797.

We are just working on some sort of deal that can be offered, something like a full body kit painted for $X or maybe front bar and bonnet for $Y to get rid of stone chips. We will get back to you shortly about this, feel free to suggest something. If you're worried about colour matching don't be, I used to work in this industry and Louie is the best colour matcher I have ever seen.

There is no disclaimer to this thread. I am not getting anything out of this and neither is the club. If you go to him for some work, make sure you tell Louie you found him here.

Cheers.

Something that may help find it.

Its right next to Hungry Jacks, and the building is a pink type colour.

Seconding what adam has said about louie, he's very helpful and the cars that he produces are amazing.

ill head down to see him soon to get a quote to have my sideskirts painted.

i heard he has reasonable prices too, and moving to smithfield (cheaper rent) should be better??

my colour is freaking hard to match though.

haha you think ur color is hard to match joe????

man try mine.. i want to respray my front bar and mirrors, to rid it of stone chips, it isnt too bad so i dont want to risk making it look diff to the rest of the car.... stupid MP2 :)

might go see him one day soon, see wat he says and wat he might be able to do with it

haha ok you win!

but theres so many shades of my colour, its easy to get it wrong.

ill see how he goes anyway.

hey charlie... i have enquired about it.. the MP2 and MP3 are both hard to get... its some sort of water based paint not everywhere make it..

Its not about that anyways, its mainly getting it to reflect the same as the rest of the car, as in if u paint only the front bar it may look completely different. specially in the sun. If you see my car up close u will understand wat i mean.

Mass,

Yeah, it is all in the application for such paintwork and it must be done by someone that is skilled. No Bunnings special mini compressor + spray kit job on this one :P

btw, I have both MP2 and 3 colour mix recipe's if required. They are 'chromulsion' based paints and required a real pro to apply.

hahaha yeh i know charlie :P

have u seen mansoors engine bay?

i havent been back to see it finished, i hope it turned out ok... was a little dark, but she looked ok i think... he is happy.

LoL... how long has it been sammeh? At least a year :P

I was about to say that....almost as bad as stevo getting the engine rebuilt.

Yeah ditto on the bodykit spray thing....and the side skirt quote.

hey Joe $200 is ok man... it will cost you more to buy ur own gun and compressor.. plus it wont be easy to spray if you havent done it before... also you will need a pretty good gun, not s cheapo, makes a huge difference.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
