Oh yea ShoBoat... I remember.... I first saw it early in the '90's on a Celica GT (factory option)... It came in the one you imaged (blues/violets/greens..... and in another with reds/oranges/ and tans... they used different base coats.....
I did a 1 ton dually P/U with the one you showed.... The paint was $800/qt then (20+ years ago)
I loved the way it looked, but repairing chips was essentially impossible as it left "polka-dots of a visually different color no matter what was done!

They used to call it pearl, but I think there was a proper name for it. I can't seem to remember. I do recall seeing a late 80's IROC-Z done in that paint scheme back in the early 90's. I also remember that it was huge bucks for the paint.

Yeah, I've seen several Cobras with it.

I thought it was green, then it looked purple, then gold....
Really did appear snake like under the right lights.

It was called "Mystic Teal".

A real challenge to reproduce, let me tell 'ya.

I wanted to throw our spectrometer right out the window when spraying sheen samples and trying to match car parts / panels that came in when I worked as a color formulator in my previous life.
