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.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
