Modeling it after the 1:1, yes.. it will have the color changing interior.

Paint is Duplicolor Mirage "Purple/Green" which was closest to it, I'll get outside pics tomarrow.....

Once again I dont think it needs any shinning or polishing.

No, I didn't strip it, I sanded it down with 1000 grit so the primer had something to "bite" to. Yes I will paint the mirrors, It's far from being done.

Wow, that's awesome. I think one of my '03s just may be coming out of the box! What color did you start with?

One thing though...did you paint the whole seat? Cuz on the real ones, I thought only the insert was mystic colored...?

Theres still lots to work out, painting the visors, mirrors seats, door jams, trunk jams, under hood. The original color was silver.. I love the Maisto 03 cobras, I have 3 of them and I'm looking for more.

The Duplicolor "Mirage" paint is sold at AutoZone and WalMart, and comes in a pack of spray cans, I think a 3 set, it is something in the vicinity of $20...

Nice job on the Mystichrome paint. I always wanted a coupe in this color scheme or "Sonic Blue".

gotcha
im thinking about buying this paint for my 1/24 plastic cars but my concern is if the paint would eat up the plastic or not. so does anyone know if the paint would work nicely on plastic

I've never had a problem with Duplicolor on any model, and I've done quite a few. I don't see why this one would cause problems. I think my Screaming Yellow '03 Cobra project just because a Mystichrome.....

I'm working on this exact car, but I'm going in a COMPLETE opposite direction, I'm making a Funny Car Dragster out of mine, I'll post pics if you want me to.

If you got a project, post it. You don't need permission!

I found a handful of the '03 Cobra models at a hobby shop in Irving, they wanted around $30 for 'em. I got my two coupes at Walgreens for $10-$15! My 'vert was a Toys-R-Us mark up at $20. I love seeing my models get expensive in stores, makes me feel like I made a good investment!
