[QUOTE="CobraRGuy, post: 1551257, member: 24211"] I had one of these. I bought mine new in '96. Mine was hit by a motor home which caused extensive damage and required multiple body panels to be replaced. Back then the paint was only available through Ford. They sent a guy out to California from Dearborn to verify that it was a real Mystic Cobra, estimated how much paint would be needed, then released only that amount to the body shop. Back then, the paint was $800/quart. That was in 1998. It is made by BASF. This paint does not require mixing colors. It gets thinned, then sprayed. The matching was perfect, and the finish was actually smoother than the factory job which had some orange peel. If it's only the clear coat it may be possible to just re-spray the clear where needed. I believe there were only 1000 made, but I'm not positive about that. Personally I was not satisfied with the performance. Only 300hp and almost no low end or midrange torque. 141K miles is a lot.
