Anyone Know How To Get 96 Mystic Paint?

[2001GTPEWTER]

Found my 2003 SVT Cobra rocker molding, only shadow grey is out..as with every other color but white, black and silver..So now I HAVE to repaint the car again. You know what though?, I'm just gonna wash the car, spray it with a primer and use a single-stage urethane shot of Ford 2003 shadow grey paint ($250 per gallon) and polish it. It'll look just as good as a factory paint job with that color, the hell with what all these know-it-alls' say about taking months to paint a car..This is not a 1932 restored classic...blah blah blah..These days paint jobs are very easy.

So is it rather easy to obtain the paint now? Anybody know what it cost's for a pint of 96 Mystic Paint?

Check if any of these PPG colors match the Cobra code. There are a couple listed Ford 2004. The one I checked was over $2000 a gallon.

Damn that's expensive! I need the 96 Mystic paint though. It was made by Basf. Thanks for posting!

Actually you can only get the paint from ford. Each idividual car has its own paint code. Ford sends out a painter that is cerified from ford to paint the car. It is the same paint used on the 50 dollar bill. You have to prove to ford that you have a true mystic. Then they send the painter out with the paint. They can match the paint by the vin # of the car. You can not get true mystic paint from anywhere else I promise you this. I have a 96 mystic myself and I looked into this. You have to prove to ford that you even need the touch up paint then they will send it to you and then you have to send it back to them you can't keep it, because of it being used for money. www.1996mysticcobra.com. You can read about it on there. Guys get there car painted and they don't match becuase ford didn't do it.

Yeah but its not a law that the car's original paint code has to match..enough money and they'll paint your car any color you want. Somebody took their rebuilt 03 Cobra and had Lamborghini techs paint it the original 2005 Murcielago orange..Macco obviously botched my metallic medium grey paint job but luckily then came the collision, and the expensive professional body work, of which the other idiot's insurance paid for in full...and they graciously decided when putting the car back together to re-clearcoat the entire car..I think I might have the only Macco paint job that still looks good and will last a long time..Back to the point though, I asked the body shop what kinds of paint they get and they can get any paint for any car that PPG is still producing, a complete overhall: about $9,000. Believe me, all the money I spent in OEM SVT Cobra parts for this GT I looked well and hard into paint jobs..By the way incase you're touching up a beat-up 87 Excort for a big $200 sale....DONT GO NEAR MACCO!!

Yeah you are right the car's original paint code does not have to match, but then what the hell is the point of having a mystic???? Just have a regular cobra. I have seen a couple of mystics that had to have fenders replaced and they got there car painted by a shop that said they could match the paint. Well the fenders do not match the rest of the car. Looks like hell. Ford has to do it and every mystic is different no two are the same. You can't just use any mystic paint it has to be the same batch of paint used on your car or it will not match.

Thats also true...And its like a bad tattoo..live with it or cut your limbs off. In fact I still have clearcoat black rocker molding on my 2001 GT. The rest of the car is fitted completely with OEM 2003 SVT Cobra 10th ann. parts and a beautiful metallic medium grey clearcoat, but the car will HAVE to go over to the bodyshop that fixed it after the accident, they were the last ones to match the paint. I went to Ford to see if they could give me enough touch-up paint to cover the rocker molding..but they told me they'd have to match the color and custom mix a certain amount of paint. The upside is the new Mustangs, they have black rocker molding on the 07 Cobras', so my car actually gets a lot of compliments on the color scheme..but I still wanna have it painted. Body work sucks, that little job alone will cost me a few hundred dollars.
