Yeah that would look great. Another idea might be to look at some vintage muscle car colors too.

i also thought about that pretty much the guy told me he can mix any stock color since '65 and then lighten or darken them

^^^that is cool. Mystic Teal is pretty rare, you know. Might add some value to the car if you're planning on selling it anyway.

Mystic teal metallic looks terrible, especially when it starts to show some wear. House of Kolor's Black Gold looks pretty awesome.

This seems to be more about cost than looks. Check craigslist for a gallon of unused exterior latex and paint the car with a brush. It'll be cheap and look as good as a flat black job. Jeeez. The teal does look good. Inferno Orange, and Synergy Green are also two of my favorites. The metalics will show the brush marls. LOL.
