It turns out the paint is actually \u201cillegal\u201d for anyone that doesn\u2019t have Ford\u2019s permission to make or use.<\/p>\n<p>The Mystichrome paint only ended up on 1,000 of these special Terminator Cobra\u2019s, the piece noted. The \u201cillegal\u201d paint can be seen on right around 500 convertibles and another 500 coupes or so.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Mystichrome?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Mystichrome<\/a> in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Rolling shots of JC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FordGT?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FordGT<\/a> by Josh Nelson (<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hL15RnkVTq\">https:\/\/t.co\/hL15RnkVTq<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MystichromeGT?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MystichromeGT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8SjiCwxQ0T\">pic.twitter.com\/8SjiCwxQ0T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ford Performance (@FordPerformance) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FordPerformance\/status\/1169631860022042624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 5, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The outlet goes on to explain the trouble drivers of these cars would find themselves in if they would up in a fender-bender and the paint job got wrecked. The\u00a0legendary V-8 car\u2019s color has an insanely high price tag that would make it nearly impossible for your neighborhood body shop to afford should you end up dinging one of these cars.<\/p>\n<p>And fixing it would be another bag of trouble altogether. The piece noted that the paint could only be applied if a Ford representative was present. Another thing was that the rep was completely in charge of getting the color-changing paint to the shop, overseeing the work and then making sure the can was re-sealed. They even are the only ones authorized to transport any leftover paint after the work is done.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, there are only a handful of body shops across the country that are even allowed to spray the paint \u2014 even with the rep from Ford on site. \u00a0And then if a shop was able to do the work, the price tag alone would be discouraging, with it costing more than $26,600 per gallon of the Mystichrome paint.<\/p>\n<p>An example of one of the pricey Mustangs is a 2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible, finished in special paint that\u2019s\u00a0currently up for auction at <a href=\"https:\/\/carsandbids.com\/auctions\/K1gEVGD2\/2004-ford-mustang-svt-cobra-convertible\">Carsandbids<\/a>.
