Hi everyone,

If you have a need or a want for custom colour paint for a project ( well, I suppose you could spray your dog, but I wouldn't recommend this), I have 8 4litre tins of Dupont Metallic Acrylic. The paint is called 'Dupont 600' and retails around $150 per litre, so a 4ltr tin is worth roughly $600. I have the following colours;

Ford Acid Jazz ( yellowish gold colour)

Holden Tiger Mica

Montego Blue

Mint Green

and 2 other shades of blue, and 2 in red. For more details please call Mick on 0400 4300 51.

I'm happy to do any of these colors for $400. Or the lot for $2800.

In case you are wondering how I came to have this, I agreed to swap a set of Works Equips 11J and 13J with new Bridgestone 275 and 295 tyres for this paint.

Somehow I think I was duped. Or maybe I was duponted.

Anyway, BUY MY STUFF OR THE OLD GEEZER GETS IT!

Cheers,

J

Hey buddy

can you get any other colours? and also at a cheaper price?

4 litres of that dupont high coverage (600) stuff is $450 over the phone price...

If you can get other colours at a price of around $80-$90 a litre I'd be interested

What colours do you have in mind?

I had a lamborghini orange colour in mind..been quoted $450 for 4 litres and had another lambo colour which i was quoted $285 for 3 litres for the dupont high coverage 600 ...but im after the lambo orange 3 layer colour....

can you get these around the $80 a litre mark?

Thanks RomkaR31,

Seeing as you are posting this and not by PM, the general SAU community may appreciate it if you also post who is giving you ( and the general public) these quotes so that they can take advantage of this, or alternatively make sure that I provide a competitive price in response.

So whilst I chase up the orange, what's say you post those contact details for all SAU members to utilise should they wish?

Once you've done that, let's take this to PM....

Is this for your respraying your smashed 32 GTST? or did you sell that?

Cheers,

$425 is trade price on those colours not 600

Guys,

We seem to be having communications problems here....

I did not state 'trade price', I stated 'retail price'. There is and should be a difference.

Still, if trade is $425, and I'm selling at $400 obo, that would suggest it's below trade price, right? So you're point is?

As I am sticking by my original quote on 'retail' price, and we now have a posted 'trade' price, may I ask other members to ensure that future posts are of relevance?

SirSkyline - thanks for the pricing, and I do appreciate this as it helps to give more clarity for other members, but please don't suggest that I was stating trade prices when I wasn't. Irrespective, my prices still look cheaper....

Now, for someone actually genuinely enquiring about the product, would be happy to hear from you...........

Cheers,

J

How much coverage would you get from 4 ltrs?

Hi Dan,

I spoke with guy who painted my GTR ( which also helps to show one of the colors, this is the green, although it's also had a pearl run through it), and he said that 9 times out of 10 a 4ltr tin will be sufficient to get an R33 done. He used 3.5ltrs in doing my car ( note: basically overspraying everywhere but NOT engine bay) which was grey to green, and 2.5 ltrs on his own car ( also shown in the photo), which was blue to purple. He recommended using a cheap base coat, then this metallic acryllic over the top, then applying the 2-pac clear.

Not sure if this helps, get back to me if further detail needed.

cheers

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
