Does anyone know where I can get the Mystic paint or something similar to it? I don't want to paint my car or anything like that I just want to pain a model so the paint has to be safe on plastic. Also if anyone also knows where I can get the pearl white paint that kind of changes as well I would appreciate it.
Thanks

John

 

What is this Mystic paint?

 

It is a paint that changes color depending on the light and angle that you are looking at the car from. Ford offered it on 1996 Cobra's only and made a total of 1999.

Here is a link to a 96 Mystic Cobra

Its available at auto paint stores. Its also very expensive!!!! I believe the smallest size available are pints. DUPONT,PPG,and HOUSE OF KOLOR carry it.

 

Whitelightninsvtgirl said it cost 250.00/pint
she was going to have some flames done with it

 

How About Painting Lightning on the sides and hood. That would really look impressive.

 

hi guys!! i thought that actuall "mystic"paint could only be painted by a registered shop...unless its another version ,like what house of kolor has????i think a lightning with mytic would be amazing!!!because of all the curves in the flareside body!!!!!!my buddy may be getting a mystic like paint from house of kolor for his hot rod s.v.o. mustang.....good luck!!and i hope you've been workin' some overtime!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$

If they made lightnings with mystic paint i would have definatly got it for my color. I always like it on the mustangs.My friend has one.

 

I read somewhere that the 2000 Stang is going to be offered in a Mystic Red/Gold. Not sure where I saw that at.

 

They quite making the cobras in that becuz it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to match it if something ever happens ie fender bender, keyed etc... So just wanted to let you know about that.

 

Hey guys,

I have a 1996 Mystic Cobra. They made 2000 in 1996 and the option was $816.00. It took THREE years to develop the mytsic. The cost for the paint is roughly $1000.00 a gallon. It takes 1 1/2 gallons to paint the Cobra.

The paint is made by BASF and the only way you can get pints is to take the car to the dealer with the body damage. (Ford Technical Bulletin 95-16-3)... The dealer is supposed to call the JOB1 hotline. The BASF rep will be contacted and HE/SHE flies in and looks at the damage within 24 hours. The BASF rep then Fed-ex's the EXACT amount to the dealer for the repair. I know this first hand because I tried to get some for a Harley Fat-Boy I had and we got snagged.

I know you can by Mystic touch-up paint. If you need a VIN just let me know and I'll give you mine.

They are making a 2000 Cobra with the mystic gold. I have already been in touch with my dealer.

With regards to repairs a friend of mine had one that was keyed and he had the left side repainted and you could not tell. The bodyshop said the hardest thing was actually getting the repair basecoat material.

If you have never seen a mytsic cobra they are wild.

Just some added information.
My neighbor has the 1995 Mustang GT convertible that was the BASF prototype for the Mystic paint (it was shown all throughout Ford prior to the 1996 Cobra introduction). The story on the paint that H8 2 W8 just cited is pretty much it. I know because my neighbor works for BASF and I heard it there too.

Actually, Ford stopped paying BASF royalties for the Mystic paint and so it's on the open market now. At first you had to have a damaged Mystic car to buy the paint, but that is no longer the case.

Later!

Man I hate dealers, I went to one & that is the info they told me about the mystic paint, & why they didnt make them anymore (my prevous post). I wanted to get some for my mustang back in 97. Sorry for wrong info I was given. I was told that they couldnt get any either becuz they couldnt match the paint. If any customers had problems with scrathces that they had to repaint the "whole" car. Well at least I know better now
