Mothersworry Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Built as a "what if", as Cobra Convertibles were not available with Mystic paint. Wheels are finished with Alclad Chrome but a bit overdone to replicate polished aluminum. Edited March 29, 2023 by Mothersworry Image issue 15
Pierre_tec Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Great job, the mandatory question, where you find the paint

BASF kept a pretty tight grip on this stuff cuz the same material in the paint wuz also used in the printing of U.S. money. Usually a rep from BASF or sometimes the Secret Service would supervise the the repairs and account fer the all the paint, used and unused. 1
Maindrian Pace Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 Cleanest build I've ever seen of that kit, a real stunner. I wonder if Scalefinishes or MCW can get the Mystic paint.
vamach1 Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 Beautiful job on the kit and of course the paint is fantastic. I like this kit and built one using the Testors Color Shift paint which is pretty close and needless to say can be found at Hobby Lobby without the Secret Service following you home. ? 1
kelson Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 Looks awesome!!i think the color was also offered on Saleen Mustangs in 1998,i seem to remember a magazine article about it.
Rattlecan Dan Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 Very Eye Catching, nice build. Thanks for posting.
kymdlr Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 This build is super clean. The interior color combo is great and the finish on the body is truly like glass. Did you cut and polish the finish or is it straight clear coat?
Andy Oldenburg Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 Impressing build and as every else has expressed, a perfect paint job?

baycolony Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Yep, there were a few Saleens made in this color as a promotion for BASF and the introduction of the Mystic paint. I built this a bunch of years ago and was actually contacted by one of the present owners of the car who wanted to buy the model from me. You did I nice job on your vert! 3
e30lover Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Lovely build! Tan interior really suits the paint color too.
DoctorLarry Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 Beautiful job in all areas. What did you use for the interior paint?
