well after a long time of wondering what color i want to paint my car.. 350z blue, viper yellow... I have decided to go with dupont mystic chrome.. the same color on the 04 mystic cobra... Before soem of you start hounding me about ti being a waste.. i love the color im not all show.. but i need some help

i noticed on the bottom of my hatch the gasket is loose that holds in the the window.. there is a good bit of rust and where it meets the hatch its so rusty u can push down with your finger and it turns to crumbs.. so should i (A) take the glass out and fix the hatch.. which im told if u try and take it out it will break.. or (B) find a carbon fiber hatch..


if your curious to know what the car will look like here is what i have
buddy club 2 sides and rear
stock 97-99 front bumper with carbon fiber chin spoiler
carbon fiber hood paint matched
tinted windows 20%
stock headlights with hid retrofit kit from HIDTECH

i just wanted to hear what you guys had to say about the color im going to go with and what i should do about my hatch
 
i like the color alot. it looks good, its flashy, i wouldnt paint your CF hood, leave it to match your hatch. get a CF hatch if you got the money... its so nice looking.
 
if i got the hatch id paint it also.. i think my car would look retarded painted like that with a black hood and hatch
 
Wouldn't be my choice in colors but it isn't my car. If you like the color go with it and screw the rest of us. :)


Not sure what you want to know about the hatch. Obviously it needs to be fixed. I don't think there are really any carbon fiber hatches avaible besides squidskins. I think it would probably look funny with the roof being colored and being framed by a cf trunk and hood.
 
well the hood and hatch will be painted the same color as the car no 2 tones... the color is called mystic chrome its made from dupunt its 625 a quart but you spray it like a peal so it doesnt tak as long to do.... you really need to see the car in person to get a idea.. but it changes from purple, blue, teal, green, but you really have to see it in person .. i was never fond of flip flop paints but after seeing the cobra i feel in love with it
