Nope, not mine! There was a guy on the list with a Zyclam car, but he sold it I believe. I'de love to photograph a Zyclam car myself though!

My car is Cobalt Blue Metallic. Its the other "effect" paint they offered for 1991 only. Zyclam is extremely rare. Here is a pic of color variation in Cobalt. Zyclam does the same, but its not blue- its more purple, pink, red, and DARK burgandy.

Thats freakin gorgeous. I love these colors.
Hopefully the Zyclam won't cost too much to do.

Depends what kind of finish quality you want. Zyclam is not a "cheap place" color. It won't look the same unless someone mixes it and sprays it correctly to get the proper effect.

You are probably going to be looking at $6 - $10,000 for a good job. Not a show car, but a great finish.

My daily car is a pearl color like that and I recently had to respray the bumper after someone backed into it. Not cheap at all! I also got a quote on a car for my business to get sprayed at the best shop around here in a color like that and that was around the quote they gave me without doing the engine bay, trunks, etcc... (exterior only)

You also cant touch it up by hand and make it look correct.

BUT....its all worth it when the sun hits the car at an angle! You will never look at the same car twice!

I second the british racing green with gold pinstripes. Yet it seems you're more into the metallics. Good luck whatever route you go.
