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???

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
