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?

    • Instead of the paint on the shiney pipes, would you consider going with getting them ceramic coated, and then powder coated black?
    • Awesome mate, sounds like an awesome car! My 33 has the 400R/Nismo front and rear bumpers and side skirts. They're in terrible condition though so I either need to fix them up or toss them and get new, standard bumpers and skirts. I wish the Nismo stuff was FRP not fibreglass as they're always one nudge away from complete destruction! 
    • Thanks mate 馃憤 The car was brought into the UK by a USAF mechanic until he was stationed back to the US, one owner later I bought her back in 2009. Luckily the only corrosion was on the sill seams, so once taken back to metal and treated and sealed all ok, I then undersealed the car myself and check yearly and treat any corrosion which to be honest is zero. She's garaged most of the time and hardly ever driven in the rain, but as you say most are rotten unfortunately, I was lucky in finding her as she was and still is in excellent condition.  
    • Stunning car.  Looks amazing!  You're in the UK?  How the hell do you stop your car rotting away beneath you?  British cars are the WORST I've ever seen in regards to rust.  Some of the cars SR Autobody have done are borderbeyond saving.
