*Did we nail it?*

[@t.j.8574]

🔨 - Great job. ✨

[@VideoNerete]

Actually YES

[@snotrocket1142]

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!

[@ernieherrera7763]

It looks spot on

[@alvarortega2]

Perfect

[@nickthatch12]

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.

[@AC-bl1rl]

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.

[@toddmcquiston5997]

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

[@Danny04Mystic]

​@@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.

[@damianlindsey6177]

​@@Danny04MysticI believe there were 5 saleens painted mystichrome and they all started life as a termi cobra. I may be wrong though.

[@mikeroll6496]

I'd say it's pretty close.

[@chrisfreyre3944]

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.

[@keithwoff701]

What about that rainbow color on the new edge? Extremely rare

[@Danny04Mystic]

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!

[@stevenchoateracing3087]

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

[@TheZodiacRT]

The semi gloss finish doesn’t look right to me, but ive only seen pics also.

[@bamboosho0t]

I agree, a bit more gloss would really make it look good.

[@That-Guy.]

Yes. I knew something was missing and the semi-gloss is throwing me off too

[@804MRMAN]

Stop lying 😏

[@Thundercat68]

Worked for a Ford dealer back when Mystichrome " Chameleon " was available. No two paint jobs were ever the same colors.

[@t3ap0t_wr3x]

The color shift between the 2 angles during mixing is INSANE!

[@L3TH4L1TY]

Yeah, such a blatant green, then purple, crazy difference

[@bales]

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.

[@danielmiller6983]

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!!

[@houseofmods2104]

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.

[@JoeyBawlz]

I don't know what the original looks like but this is Badass!

[@kevincombs2486]

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.

[@justinbyrn2815]

Too much purple

[@paulwilliams667]

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.

[@trucker-mr9gi]

Absolutely nailed it. 5 out of 5. The body lines match the paint shift perfectly.

[@club3g82]

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

[@grim101hotmail]

Wow.... at 4:30 I love the 3 very distinctive colors in the beaker... I don't know how closely it matches the original Mystic color, but the result is definitely badass. We're used to hypershifts now, but imagine showcasing something like this over 25 years ago....

[@undividual3891]

I'd argue that paint like that was just as common, if not more common back then as it is now. Hell, I'd say it goes way back to the American custom car era of the 1950s.

[@wildflower1397]

For everyday folks like myself, color shift cars were few and far between in the 90's. The first few times I saw them, it blew my mind. It seemed like magic that it could look like a different color from a different angel. :)

[@dslynx]

4:29, look at that color! That's just amazing!

[@nobeldnoble7048]

The car said it all.......5.0!!!....amazing result DYC team!!....thanks for sharing and keep it up!

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

Never seen the original but I love this. I was expecting it to be more glossy & silver but I love this. 5.

[@christenn32]

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!

[@brianfields6130]

I'd have to give another 5!! BEAUTIFUL color changes for such a deep paint job!!👍👍👍👍👍😎⚔🇺🇸

[@forgingluck]

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.

[@michaelwalker7696]

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.

[@SenisterBuilt]

Nailed it I'd dip any car that color my god it's sick AF

[@chrisjuliano3964]

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.

[@DRR671]

Haven’t watch DYC in a long time you guys definitely improved a lot

[@stevefranks9873]

Nailed it. Actually I have no idea if it's a match, but wow does it look good

[@ResurrectionMotorsports]

Didn't expect a 100% match but way closer than I expected! GREAT JOB!!!! Looks phenomenal!

[@susangrewe262]

I’m not sure about matching the color but I loooove how it turned out. Thanks for the fun video Fonzie and Gabe.

[@y2kknight]

Pretty cool I've been watching for a minute and I haven't been bored once. Very interesting stuff.

[@jusjessnthings8273]

Love seeing the camera change and it being a totally different color while hes just oblivious at the time. Looks great

[@Sergeantgrunt]

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!

[@brentskeez]

Such an incredibly gratifying video to watch. I have stars in my eyes. looks incredible!

[@parmelapowell8283]

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.

[@RobertLangston-kn1hk]

I love that. Never saw the original. But I can't imagine it being much better than this. Good job.

[@thaisstone5192]

This is extremely attractive! I have NO idea what the original color looked like (was living in NZ at the time) but this is really lovely.

[@ZaneTv254]

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!

[@steveskrobot9496]

I love the color. This body shape is perfect for it with all the different shades evident across all panels.

[@120DEA]

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 !

[@dominickleonardi]

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.

[@HowardSupra]

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.

[@mistytaylor2812]

It's amazing how you can be patient enough you are awesome you nailed it it looks like you got it like that !

[@69nunyabidness]

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!👍

[@JPGenergy]

Great friends with the owner of the 5th mystic cobra made (has the certificate and all) and he and I both agreed it’s like 99.9% there

[@ryt2carry]

This is my favorite color you’ve ever done. This looks crazy good.

[@Neostarchild]

I totally agree

[@garyl.urbano3066]

Nailed it!! Beautiful paint job.

[@LeSkrumpcious]

I have no clue what the color is supposed to look like, but this is gorgeous. Nice job!

[@RANDOMNATION907]

5/5 absolutely gorgeous , now _that_ , to me , is a proper color-shift. I wonder what it would do over a white base?

[@armandjohnsharp1703]

This definitely deserves a 5, you guys nailed it. Absolutely stunning colour.

[@neontownescape]

That's heaps good, one of my favourite colours I've seen you do.

[@snowylilacs7952]

Wish we had some pictures to compare them to like the last one. That being said I completely remember this chrome theme from the early 2000s and how people wanted it on everything. So you hit the nail on the head for that one for sure. Like I said I don’t recall the one from the 90s so I can’t say for sure

[@TikeFe]

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!

[@GardenGuy1943]

Isn’t that a bit racist to say..?

[@TikeFe]

@@GardenGuy1943 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!

[@jacobklee5817]

This took me back to ~2000 and seeing a few cars with Mystic here and there. Nicely done.

[@dillmonster260]

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

[@larryjohnson8467]

I don’t know what the original color looked like, but this one is fire, I like the darker color shifts. As always another great job.👍

[@buick455muscle]

Killing me that people have never seen the source paints, they look amazing.

[@darylarbing4553]

Nailed it! Looks amazing! Pure nostalgia 😮😮

[@daveblevins3322]

That's actually pretty cool 😎. Thank you for sharing.

[@mikeoren3934]

@dyc you guys should do the liquid blue that ford did all the unveiling sema cars and the unveiled new relaunch ford GT in

[@toddjones4287]

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 !

[@LiterallyCensoredDaily]

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!

[@Charlie_Waffles]

absolutely loved how the liquid looked like after he poured it into the Glass 🤩😂 … when u can already see the colorshift at the first sprayed line u know its goin to be awesome ❤ 😂 .. totally like that dark blue/green/purple shift 🔥👍👍

[@OSXMan]

Man, that's a really smooth finish! Might the little bit of xylene cause that?

[@RANDOMNATION907]

That's a good question. I'd like to know the answer too.

[@hhaaayyoutube]

Yes, xlyene helped smooth mine out After application

[@JamesBurkett-zq3ud]

Great looking finish. You nailed it 10 out of 5. I love this color.

ill say yes from what i remember you guys nailed it beautiful looking car great work!!!

[@JACKstandJIMMY]

Wow this looks awsome!!!!!!! I think you nailed it for sure !!!

[@thomascopass4995]

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.

[@boonedawg1506]

I think you nailed it. I want that color on my truck now. Thanks

[@lauriea2971]

Wow that’s what I call a sweet ass colour bros. U fringed nail it 1000%

[@jonathanpatton4551]

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 👏🏽
