Jay M1988 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Hey all Need some help and advice on finding the right purple for my alloys. Ill be refurbing them myself so i must be able to get it in a can. I read through the gunmetal specific 350z thread and saw smudgeons colour purple which would be ideal as its slightly dark. If not im looking at cadbury purple. Much appreciated Quote
Jetpilot Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Your going to be pretty ltd if your expecting to pick something up off the shelf in a rattle can imho (that will look good) Your probably best going to a proper paint supplier and they can mix up any colour you like. Quote
ZEUS Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 As jetpilot said choose your colour and then get it put in a rattle can at a paint supplier. Quote
Jay M1988 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 True im just struggling to find the purple paint finish. Quote
Jetpilot Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 House of kolor kandy purple is awesome, had it on my Volks! but you waont get that mixed in a rattle can. How about midnight purple, they do 3 different versions. Quote
Jay M1988 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Again mate spoke to the bodyshop nd wont get it in a can Quote
TT350 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 For the pure sake of hassle and finish I really think a professional is the way forward. Browse house of kolors catalogue then order a tin. Labour wouldn't be that much if you prep them first. Quote
Jay M1988 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks mate i honestly think ill end up going through the bodyshop. The bodyshop did a r33 skyline in house of kolor paints and he warned me how god damn expensive it is. Quote
jimmy.farrow7 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Halfords can mix most paints if you can get hold of the paint code, might be worth a try. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Smudgeon had his purple colour custom made. Took a few attempts for his body shop to get it spot on to his liking. Quote
Jay M1988 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Thanks guys. I tried to pm him but im guessing he's an old member. Dont fancy guessing codes. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Thanks guys. I tried to pm him but im guessing he's an old member. Dont fancy guessing codes. He's banned. Don't ask why and he wouldn't give it out. He's very protective over it. Quote
Jay M1988 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 No sweat mate thanks. Im gonna keep hunting for a decent paint code/name Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I know he styled it on Cadburys purple so I'd suggest starting there. Quote
