Hi guys im thinking bout getting a respray done and I was just wondering is it hard to get this type of paint mixed up?

Also what sort of price am I looking at just for the paint? Few people claim it costs over $1000 per litre, is this true?

Thanks

the midnight purple on r33 gtr's is quite cheap compared to the price of mp2 and mp3 on r34 gtrs

my painter got a quote for all 3, mp1 was 600 buks for 4L base coat only obviously

900 bucks per L for mp2 and mp3

who knows maybe you can get it cheap via a connection or something but general price to the average joe for mp2 and mp3 is quite high

My "midnight purple" was a mockup paint mix by the looks of things, so when I got a can of touchup matched, it turned out closest to "Honda RP25P Aubergine Pearl Standard" with a touch of some kind of blue....much cheaper lol

I've got a MPIII 34 GTR paintcode LX0

basically it's a dupont chromalusion paint

I have the formula saved somewhere if you would like it.

I did get a quote for 500ml of base and 500ml of topcoat and it came to $1070 with a 6 week lead time as the paint was coming from Dupont Japan

I can remember that most of the price has something to do with a tinter in the topcoat KK700

Here's a pic of My 34 and Choy's 34 shows the difference between MPII and MPIII

Don't have any decent pics as the sun didn't wanna come out.

Getting my car re-sprayed in MP soon too, so a quick question.

The original Midnight Purple as seen on R33 GTRs is just a pearl purple? Where as MP II and MP III are both colours that appear to 'change colour' in varying lights?

I just want to make sure what I think is MP I and what I think is MP II is correct.

I've seen Falcons with just a Purple Pearl in the paint.

My MP R33 GT-R yes, was a Purple Pearl, but quite subtly it also had a touch of dark blue, black and even less so of green in the paint. So in that respect, it's quite noticeably different from the Falcon.

Where as MP II and MP III are both colours that appear to 'change colour' in varying lights?

The MP I can look dark blue to black in varying lights too, but much more subtle.

MP II has more green and dark blue than MP I

MP III is a full-on chameleon chromemulsion colour and is very difficult to paint eg. matching up skirts to the rest of the bodywork.

I just want to make sure what I think is MP I and what I think is MP II is correct.

You're pretty much correct.

MP1 is a metallic paint (easy to paint match)

MP2 is a metallic paint with a candy clear (relatively harder to paint match)

MP3 is a habib spec prismatic paint (good luck paint matching it properly on anything other than the assembly line)

factory habib spec yo. ftw.

Alright, next question.

I have the paint and everything for my car, but I have just found a front lip that I really like that I can buy for my car. It comes in either Fibreglass or Carbon Fibre.

Anybody have pictures of carbon fibre on LP2???

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
