Hi Guys,

I know this may have been covered before, but ive seen a few threads about respraying cars so i figured i should ask.

Just want some opinions from everyone on Midnight Purple III (LX0) paint.

I will be respraying my car soon and im really interested in getting this colour as its not only rare but also looks good.

Has anyone seen it in real? If so, what would you rate it?

Thanks guys.

Most dark colours are hard to keep clean.
My old 180 was midnight purple. Looked great, and it's my favourite colour on a car, but yeah, was a bit of a bltch to keep clean.

:laugh: I kinda figured it would, but nothing is as much of a bitch as black. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think it wouldn't be as bad as black.

be prepared for $400 a litre coz i was guna get my car painted that colour bout 6months ago, out of my bugget so i get went midnight purple

:D Dont worry i'm prepared $400 is peanuts if you're happy with what you're getting. I guess you get what you pay for, true?

Is this color just a spray on a couple coats then a few of clear? Or is it a paint 1 color then another or what? How hard is it to come by the tinters?

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
