96 Mystic question

[jheath]

Hey all,

Recently found out my 96 i purchased a few months ago is originally a mystic cobra, build #7. The car was wrecked at some point and had a full color change to a ruby red looking color, still has mystic under the carpet and parts of the engine bay. I am wanting to get the car repainted back to mystic and wondering what my options are as far as paint, I know automotivetouchup.com has what is called Mystic pearl or Mystic II according to the mystic forum, but is there anywhere else that sells the paint also?

If you are trying to go back to stock good luck. You will need a certified Ford Dealership, time and money. The paint is said to be used to make money so any you buy you can not keep. I sold my Mystic due to the issues of simply getting the bumpers painted due to fad. If you are trying for an aftermarket then you can find paint that is similar.

I just had my car repainted a few months ago. My friend/painter found the paint rather quickly. Sold a kidney to get the whole job done right. My car was vandalized and was fading fast. Clear coat issues from factory.

Ps. Paid out of pocket. No salvage scams like almost EVERY shop wanted me to do.

From what I read the original restrictive paint is no longer available so hopefully is not a hassle anymore.

Do you know what brand paint that he found? The one off the mystic forums I found was $2000 a gallon, which I figure is going to be average price regardless. Car defiantly looks amazing, hopefully mine will be that nice haha.

When my dad had the paint and body shop I had to respray a few Mystichrome Cobras. The paint can be mixed, and a match can be achieved. If my memory serves me correct it is a BASF paint. I have the paint formula on one of my old laptops.

The difficulty in this wild pearl, flip flop paint is not in mixing it. There is a process to spraying it.

I never tried to blend a panel with that paint. I would spray a swatch patch and get the paint to match the car.

I would drive my dad insane because I was meticulous. That's why he would call me; the job required a lot of finesse. My OCD perfectionist nature got the job done right.

I would actually buff and polish the car without the new panel before painting. I made sure I was matching to a perfect surface.

I think the Mystic paint is more easily available now. Though, it's still not cheap.
Yes it was (and is) BASF.

Only because OP he said his car originally is a 96 mystic cobra.

I don't see that much of a difference in the two

It's a gorgeous color....but not on an original 96 mystic. But I hear you....I would use mystic chrome on a custom car.

No. It isn’t. Especially if you see them side by side. The rounded panels in the sn-95 work better with the original mystic. Mysticrome never really caught on for a reason.

Defiantly wanting to stay with Mystic, I do like Mystichrome but only on a 04 cobra as it should be.
