well lads said id ask on here as a few people have painted there car this color weres the best/cheapest place to buy the midnight purple off of skyline gtrs. and whats the paint code for it as ive googled it and the paint it shows is like a charmeleon paint .cheers
Theres 3 shades of midnight purple
im trying to get a picture of "tom.com"s s14 cause thats the kinda shade i want
LP2 is the first MNP, LV4 is the second & LX0 is the third. The first paint doesn't have any flip shades in the paint where as the other two have them. I sell the waterbased paint, your looking at €80 per litre for LP2
His car is LP2.Quote:

2 pack is cheaper to buy and less work to apply(cheaper)
Base-coat is better quality. Pearl base-coat around 50 euro a litre
What are u on about 2 pack just means 2 parts ie paint and hardener . Therefore clear over base is also called 2 pack . Stop confusing the opQuote:

2k is neither a base coat or a clear, so what are you on about? Your the boy confused i doubt.
Well i mean its a solvent base-coat that has to be mixed 2.1 with 2k thinners before spraying.Quote:

Im not confused ur talking solid 2k that dose not have to be cleared . Base needs clear and the clear is 2k as it needs hardener . 2k is 2 partQuote:

Your right basecoat needs 2k clear but clear over basecoat isnt called 2pack.Their two seperate painting procedures.
I was simply giving the op information so that when he was in a shop asking for paint, when hes asked 2k or basecoat he knows what he wants.
All he has to do is walk into the shop and give them the paint code, you can only make up the midnight purple formula in solvent basecoat or water based. 2K doesn't even come into the equation.Quote:

and i thought i was confused before i put up the thread :p just messing i think i have a fair idea now cheers lads
This evo is lp2 if that helps http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sal...-9-kit/6109997
i paint my r34 midnight purple lp2
I can get you 5litres of midnight purple lp2 solvent base for €250 mixes 50/50 with 2k thinners if you go to any paint suppliers it gonna be bout €80 a litre . Lp2 is very transparent I usually paint it over a silver bascoat if yr not doing that and painting over patches of primer etc you ll need about 6-7 coats of paint and you would want to dust a couple of light final coats otherwise it will look patchy when the sunlight hits it, as for 2pack paint it's only for solid colors u can't buy a metalic or pearl like lp2 in 2pack , it's old school shite basically grand for tractor s vans or drift cars imo, if u need any info on laquers,thinners to use jus pm me ill try point u in the right direction
that makes more sense :) obviously the baseoat will make a difference to the finished shade so youd wana no when silver u use as a base too? for repairs in the future?Quote:
