So, i may have the opportunity to get a quart of mopar f8 green. In my head, it would look AMAZING on my miata. 

Can someone photoshop it for me to make sure im not stupid?

Ditto. It looks great in my head. But it only works if you have a pink "please remove" splitter guard to set it off.

That is very similar to the color of the Bentley. 

Do it! You aren't wrong.

LOL. The splitter guards on those cars crack me up.

As for the color, I bet it will look fantastic. I've always admired that color when I see it.

Sooo....   I think the miata looks great!

Also, isn't there another MoPar you have that needs paint?

I'm sorta confused on why not use the Mopar paint on a Mopar.  Leave the meotter alone?

You beat me to it...

Yes, F8 green would look good but the current green also looks good.  A repaint is a lot of work for only a slight improvement.  

I'll also advise again too dark of colors on too small of a car.  It's hard enough to be seen as is.

Rob and John. Y'all aren't wrong. Main reason I'm thinking about it is the rust-oleumism bitch to keep after, and photographs way better than it actually presents in real life. It's also surprisingly fragile. Shockingly easy to fix but surprisingly fragile. It's a decision I'm really wrestling with because it is a whole lot of effort for not much difference. And the current shade of green is a unique shade really looks good on the car with a tan interior

If the current paint doesn't "stick" well, will it have to come off to make the Mopar paint stick better?

I do!

 

Thanks JG. Definitely not what I was going for now that I saw it on the car. I really appreciate you saving me a lot of effort.

 

John it's not that the Rust-Oleum doesn't stick well, it's just that it chips scratches Fades and braids incredibly easy. Even catalyzed it's a very soft paint. It does not hold up anywhere near as well as base clear.

Yes for sure. The Mopar paint may need a barrier coat to stick on Rusto as well.
