    Midnight purple paint

    Does anyone know where I can get midnight purple 3 paint from? Code is LX0

    I've tried 2 nissan dealers and they've both said they can't get it as it isn't a uk car colour. Anyone help?

    would a local paint shop not be able to mix it up for you?

    Apparently it's very difficult to mix as it's got some special chromalusion additive in it that give it the pearl effect or something like that :/

    I phoned up 2 nissan dealers and they both said they can't get it as it's not a UK car so they never had the paint here which is really annoying. I've heard it's well expensive too! :/

    I just checked the scheme we have at work and it is a 3 stage pearl with 2 flip colours in the main layer. We have 1 330ml tin of one of them and I think they retail at £400+vat each! They are cyan to purple flip and blue to red flip. Be prepared to pay around £12-1500 just for the paint without any other materials

    Yeah I've heard it's a crazy pearl flip! I heard it was around 5-600 a litre? Spoken to my local body shop and he's seeing if he can get the paint for me. Hopefully he can. Need to paint the bonnet,front wing and bumper and blend into the drivers door. Hopefully a litre and a half will do it

    I saw that post on gtr actually but saw it was like 3 years old. I'll message him. Must be worth a try at least. How long would a paint last just sitting on a shelf?

    Yeah the 2 is just a darkish colour and in the light you can see the purple. The 3 has more of a flip between bluey purple bronzey effect

    It's really different, I'd say it was a similar style to those crazy TVR colours on the tuscan

    Didn't realise it was that different. Never seen a 34 in the flesh with midnight purple.

    Was talking to a mate who does spraying. Said it he was £500 a ltr for it for a customer.
