Some thoughts on custom paint on a Cobra, or any other street driven car for that matter.

It will look absolutely beautyful when it's finished. You'll spend a fortune on it. You'll have heart failure the first time you get a rock chip on it. You'll spend another fortune trying to match it if you ever get into a fender bender.

Use a factory color on a street driven car. Gotta be something off the showroom floor in the last 10 - 15 years you'll like. The new base coat, color coat, clear coats are absolutely stunning. Use plenty of primer and sealer on the car before beginning the paint.

Ask for the best painter in the shop to do your car. Stick a $50 or $100 in his/her pocket when the job is accepted. Don't rush this.

When it's done, they should give you some touch up paint for rock chips. Since factory colors are all computer matched, any body shop with the paint code should be able to match it in the event of a fender bender.
