The color on the 96 Cobra was called “Mystic” and the color on the 2004 Cobra was “Mystichrome.” People often incorrectly refer to the 90s paint as Mystichrome as well because that was the more popular color, but Mystic is a completely distinct color with more golds/orange hues and less blue hues.
I was wondering if this was the color that Saleen used on the one-off 351SR widebody, but that was more purple and blue, no green. I actually got to see that car at their plant years later, it was never much of a car, more a shell to show off and judge marketability.
@@AC-bl1rlI saw a real one at a place in Virginia where there's a small museum of saleen cars and there was a convertible that was painted Mystichrome, as in 2004 sand the guy there said it was a real one not a repainted saleen. So there may be more than one saleen with these paint colors. He did say it was rare as well.
As a former Mystichrome owner, (and having replaced 2 bumpers that needed to be painted lol), I could immediately spot what was missing. The metal flake, hence the "chrome" in Mystichrome. I think if you added some flake it would be hard to tell. Maybe a lil gloss on top also? But looked amazing. Great job!
I agree. ive only ever seen pictures of Mystichrome, and i could tell something was off right away, i just couldnt put my finger on it till i read this comment
By far the hardest color to replicate. I don't think it's the right color shifts. Damn near close except for the gold and blue missing. I applaud you for doing this because you made a very favorable color. No matter if people tell you it's off or right on this is a beautiful color you have created.
This might be my favorite color shift yet. I like the darker muted shifts. I kinda remember seeing the original color a few times back in the day and this has to be pretty close.
I ain't going to lie I remember both the Mystic Mustangs and the Mystichrome Cobras back in the 90s and this has damn near hit the nail on the head. It isn't exact but it's literally the closest I've ever seen anyone get to it. Kudos because that's awesome 👍 First 5/5 I've ever given on DYC
Headed to my lunch break when I checked the title of the video, and I about fell in the floor. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Looks awesome, fellas!
I just want to say that compared to other products yours is the best I’ve ever used. The hyper dip is absolutely amazing, and really holds up well… you guys nailed that color!!
Mystichrome 6/10 For a possible DIY job this is a solid 9/10. Don't ignore the negative feedback just because dip will never equal a full paint job. DYP has its place in the auto community and for the money this is an amazing result.
It's really close. Closest I've seen anyone get. The actual pigments for it are extremely expensive. The shift is spot on. The only spot that it missed the mark is the vibrance of the colors. Didn't miss by much though. It could be that it's not as sunny out. The colors just pop harder is all. Still a solid 5. Fantastic attempt. By percentages on how close the "match" is, 93-95%. Most others that claim mystic or mystichrome, barely touch 80%. Take that how you will.
As a former Mustang owner I dig this! I've heard of all the hops to get a shop to paint Mystichrome and to be honest it's almost not worth the trouble. I think this would be a great option! YOU NAILED IT!
I remember seeing this color back in the day, twice, it's a pretty close recreation from my memory. Best I've seen at any rate. Good job! I'd love to put that on a bronco that's been coyote swapped.
Wow! That looks amazing. When it goes from green to purple then black....it's so cool looking. Also, when you poured the painted into the spray jug you can see the cameraman in the pouring paint. Pretty neat.
I had no idea about this color and had to look up an original to compare it, I think you all nailed it! Though from the images I saw the OG was a bit more blue prevalent,and your mixture seemed more green to me. Big ol’ 5 on this one!
@@GardenGuy1942 oh man, you found out my secret!!! I am a car color racist, admitting it is the first step, right? Love me some British dry humor, or as y’all spell it, humour. Cheers!
This looks phenomenal its as close to a match as you can get I’ve seen the real color in person my neighbor had one. The only thing that I noticed was the wide spanning angles of green this has which the original doesn’t really do. The original has a lot of green but the visual angle doesn’t span as big of a distance as this dip does. The original is a much more narrow and local section of green shift in comparison.
You're right but I think that also comes down to the body shape. This gen mustang has a lot more 'flat' areas compared to the more bubbly sn95 mustang it came on originally.
1996 Cobras(the color he tried to match) were "Mystic", 2004 Cobras were "MystiChrome". Only available Mystic style factory paint colors were available for 2 years(1996, and 2004). Great turnout, and color by the way !
Like many others who have commented, I didn't expect a 100% spot on look of the mystic paint color, but this 97% there. Great Job. When I get my money right I will have y'all paint my 2001 Ford Mustang GT in that color, but with metal flakes. I want that Mistichrome appearance. Yes you nailed it. Ford is like 🙄😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
I’ve got pics of a 96 mystic metallic pearl mustang. With papers. That I was very fortunate to drive. Will always be one of my favorite memories. All the stares it got.
Yes sir it’s definitely art man I enjoy your videos I miss when I worked for Addiption Auto color man just masking off the car the prep when you see the final product it’s just worth all the work thanks for the content
As others have stated, other than the 96 color being mystic not mystichrome ( 2004 ), yes I would say that’s a pretty solid match for the original. Which is not easy. Often imitated rarely duplicated. Nice work 👏🏽
You nailed that colour perfect, Such a nice colour but I wouid preferred the purple part black and then with the green/gold changes wow, for my own preference that is but the colour you wanted to achieve you got 100% right
It’s amazing, I have been wanting this paint, had a 2004 cobra with Mystichrome, it’s a a different paint from the 90’s, and it didn’t hold up well, you did a beautiful job, this is my first video, great job guys!
I'm not a Ford guy and I don't know if that is a match for mystichrome or not but that color shift is spectacular I love dark paint like that it is spectacular only problem is you need much better rims and tires... I would go with something more intricate and black on wheels. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching!... Thanks for sharing! 😎👍
Love it... But it needs a bit more orange to gold to be a perfect match. Cloudy day so that might even affected the shift as well. Would still love to have this color on my car. 😎👍
Great color! Love the shift! I have not seen the original so I have no idea if you matched it. So I give you a 5 for the color in general. It would look great on my Z.
I've been an automotive painter for 40 plus years. We had a early Saleen come into the shop with this on it . The color was developed by BASF and to help achieve the effect they desired, it had the same toner used on 100 dollar bills. So to even be able to obtain the paint, you had to provide the Vin#. They would ask you how much paint was needed and then bring it with a representative to watch over you as you painted. Then they disposed of any waste products personally, then take the remainder if any was left over. Because they were concerned about someone reverse engineering it and replicating the highly guarded toner shared by some US currency. Crazy! Really blew my mind. I would be curious how well this matches the original without that special toner. But it does look good, at least in the video.
That's as close to perfect match as I can see. That purple and green are what my eyes look for. The notes of orange and black and blue are the others. But those only show up later in the day. Great color. Looks perfect on the Stang
Definitely nailed it. I remember this color oh so well when it came out. I believe it was Ford's answer to the DuPont Chromalusion, which was an even better color in my opinion, way more color shifting. But Ford's was good for a factory color 😎
It looks great! The color almost reminds me of a Cadillac color called "Riptide", and with all the angles and curves on that Mustang, I would say you picked a great car to show off the color transition effect. Thanks for a cool video!
Looks like the Mystichrome, the 2000 Cobra. The 90’s Cobra with Mystic paint had almost a gold/burnt orange also. It looks great tho. Definitely a badass color.
This is so cool seeing on a modern mustang…. I love it. Can’t wait to try and see the rare midnight purple 2! I hope it gets close to the perfection they made… it’s my favorite
*Did we nail it?*
🔨 - Great job. ✨
Actually YES
solid 5. as soon as i got the first glimpse of the car outside with the rear quarter panel shifting colors i knew yall nailed it. good job guys!
It looks spot on
Perfect

My best friend had a ‘96 Mystic Cobra and this vid pretty much nails that.

@@Danny04MysticI believe there were 5 saleens painted mystichrome and they all started life as a termi cobra. I may be wrong though.
I'd say it's pretty close.

The semi gloss finish doesn’t look right to me, but ive only seen pics also.
I agree, a bit more gloss would really make it look good.
Yes. I knew something was missing and the semi-gloss is throwing me off too
Stop lying 😏
The color shift between the 2 angles during mixing is INSANE!
Yeah, such a blatant green, then purple, crazy difference
Worked for a Ford dealer back when Mystichrome " Chameleon " was available. No two paint jobs were ever the same colors.
This video literally just gave me goosebumps. I owned a 96 Mystic Cobra but had to get rid of it in the early 2000s. You guys nailed this.
uh huh sure you did pal

What about that rainbow color on the new edge? Extremely rare
@@keithwoff701Bruh. Thats Mysti-Chrome
This might be my favorite color shift yet. I like the darker muted shifts. I kinda remember seeing the original color a few times back in the day and this has to be pretty close.
Too much purple
I had a mystic cobra...
You came close ... but no cigar.
Ford reps are extremely proud that color couldn't be duplicated. Nice job on the attempt.

Never seen the original but I love this. I was expecting it to be more glossy & silver but I love this. 5.
Wow that’s what I call a sweet ass colour bros. U fringed nail it 1000%

Absolutely nailed it. 5 out of 5. The body lines match the paint shift perfectly.
I love that. Never saw the original. But I can't imagine it being much better than this. Good job.
I'd have to give another 5!! BEAUTIFUL color changes for such a deep paint job!!👍👍👍👍👍😎⚔🇺🇸
Didn't expect a 100% match but way closer than I expected! GREAT JOB!!!! Looks phenomenal!
@4:40 gosh dang that looks so flippin cool

This definitely deserves a 5, you guys nailed it. Absolutely stunning colour.
I love the color. This body shape is perfect for it with all the different shades evident across all panels.
Nailed it. Actually I have no idea if it's a match, but wow does it look good
Wow! That looks amazing. When it goes from green to purple then black....it's so cool looking. Also, when you poured the painted into the spray jug you can see the cameraman in the pouring paint. Pretty neat.
This is my favorite color you’ve ever done. This looks crazy good.
I totally agree
It's amazing how you can be patient enough you are awesome you nailed it it looks like you got it like that !
I had no idea about this color and had to look up an original to compare it, I think you all nailed it! Though from the images I saw the OG was a bit more blue prevalent,and your mixture seemed more green to me. Big ol’ 5 on this one!

A friend of mine had a '96 Cobra painted in Mystic. One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. You pretty much nailed it!👍
From an old fart who loved this color as a kid when it came out (notsomuch the 2nd gen color), I think you nailed it! 5 out of 5 !
Pretty cool
I've been watching for a minute and I haven't been bored once. Very interesting stuff.
5/5 absolutely gorgeous , now _that_ , to me , is a proper color-shift.
I wonder what it would do over a white base?
I’m not sure about matching the color but I loooove how it turned out. Thanks for the fun video Fonzie and Gabe.
I have no clue what the color is supposed to look like, but this is gorgeous. Nice job!
Such an incredibly gratifying video to watch. I have stars in my eyes.
looks incredible!
1996 Cobras(the color he tried to match) were "Mystic", 2004 Cobras were "MystiChrome". Only available Mystic style factory paint colors were available for 2 years(1996, and 2004).

Nailed it!! Beautiful paint job.
Killing me that people have never seen the source paints, they look amazing.
I remember this color. Had it on an old Cobra that was in the shop. Beautiful color. I think you nailed it
Man, that's a really smooth finish! Might the little bit of xylene cause that?
That's a good question. I'd like to know the answer too.
Yes, xlyene helped smooth mine out After application
Like many others who have commented, I didn't expect a 100% spot on look of the mystic paint color, but this 97% there. Great Job.

My hubby asked me if I wanted a bucket for the drool 😂😂😂 5 of 5.. so so beautiful! ❤❤❤
Haven’t watch DYC in a long time you guys definitely improved a lot
You nailed it dude. I remember those stangs roaming in the 90s.
But now,. On a modern Mustang??? It's all that and a bag of chips. Very Nice.
I’ve got pics of a 96 mystic metallic pearl mustang. With papers. That I was very fortunate to drive. Will always be one of my favorite memories. All the stares it got.

Nailed it! Looks amazing! Pure nostalgia 😮😮
Love it.... Questioning myself on whether I'd go a bit lighter on the green though..
I have no idea what it looked like in 95' but you I LOVE and I mean LOVE this one. Hit it out of the park as far as I'm concerned.
You nailed that colour perfect, Such a nice colour but I wouid preferred the purple part black and then with the green/gold changes wow, for my own preference that is but the colour you wanted to achieve you got 100% right

3.5/5 stars! Very good effect! Perhaps some more orange/gold effect...but perhaps the overcast day made it hard to detect. But overall, not bad!
This took me back to ~2000 and seeing a few cars with Mystic here and there. Nicely done.
The color is gorgeous!!
I never knew Ford ever had a color this cool.... That being said OMG this has got to be one of the coolest colors ever. I'm in love!
Looks real good. Loving it. Ford tough!!!!!
Lovely colour Foz 😊
You nailed it!! I worked on a few 2004 Cobras with Mystichorme. This is the closest I have seen.
ill say yes from what i remember you guys nailed it beautiful looking car great work!!!
My 95 cougar had this color! I loved it, it’s really cool to see someone color match it!
damn that looks really good, love how it's a subtle shift. just enough to make someone do double takes. awesome
first time on the channel. i say yall nailed it. i subscribed cause of this.
Oh my God. I want that Mudslinger. That color really sets it off. A beautiful car.
Nailed it. Crazy how the color shifts used to be $1000's of dollars just in material. Not counting the base and clear coats.
I'm not a Ford guy and I don't know if that is a match for mystichrome or not but that color shift is spectacular I love dark paint like that it is spectacular only problem is you need much better rims and tires... I would go with something more intricate and black on wheels. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching!... Thanks for sharing! 😎👍
Brought a tear to my eye
Exactly how I remember it! Nice work!
Great looking finish. You nailed it 10 out of 5. I love this color.
5/5 Super cool color shift and it looks fantastic on that Mustang!
Man this is crazy good for dip! Literally can’t even tell, looks like friggin paint! Well done.
Love it... But it needs a bit more orange to gold to be a perfect match. Cloudy day so that might even affected the shift as well. Would still love to have this color on my car. 😎👍
Nice smooth change I think it's spot on.
Gorgeous green and purple 💜
That's actually pretty cool 😎. Thank you for sharing.
Great color! Love the shift! I have not seen the original so I have no idea if you matched it. So I give you a 5 for the color in general. It would look great on my Z.
