A color shrouded in mystery - Mystichrome. Only 1,010 Terminator Cobra models were produced with this incredible color changing paint code. Other than the limited production run, what makes Mystichome so tough to get your hands on? Believe it or not for years you needed somebody to oversee the painting process due to the toners used in this paint could be used for questionable reasons. Not only that, it might possibly be the most expensive paint code in the world. Being the rarest Ford paint to spray doesn't come cheap.

One of my favorite colors ever. Neighbor used to have an SN95 mystic chrome Cobra, I remember the ordeal he went through when he had to get it re-painted.

[@MoonRammer]

i love the visible passion that chris has for painting cars and making them look pretty again

[@pickledbabies]

I worked as a tech rep.for BASF for a number of years and have sprayed this color many times.BASF worked exclusively with Ford on this color and was the only manufacturer of it( that may be different today).Prizmatic pigments were a relatively new tech in automotive paint at the time. Most shops were afraid to spray it,so they would ask me to do it .It's actually very easy to spray and you don't need to blend it because of the color changing properties there's no way for it not to match. It covers very well and I would always get more than I needed. To this day I still have about a sprayable gallon somewhere in my garage....

[@ThefarmLife.]

I want my GT this color,but it’s very hard to find ..my gt alredy have a color where it looks purple at a angle then look blue idk what color it could be

[@mdtransmissionspecialties]

Wanna sell it? I’ll PayPal for that gallon right now.

[@pickledbabies]

@@mdtransmissionspecialties Sure,I'll sell it. Let me dig it out of the shop and I will let you know a better estimate of how much I have and maybe we can come to an agreement......

My dad had a 96 mystic when I was a kid. I'll never forget the color shifting in the morning when the garage door went up. Loved it

[@Scotty893]

I had a buddy with a soft top cobra in mystichrome, he showed me his “touch up” paint aka a nail polish bottle full, cost him around $400CAD like 7 or 8 years ago, I nearly choked when he told me

[@MyHeadHz]

Oh god...

[@jaredevers6459]

Wait that’s what they meant?

[@randoawesomemix9501]

@Thor Odin son not that hard if your best friend owns a body shop...

[@karlchilders5420]

@Thor Odin son It sure as shit IS hard to do it *right* especially when you aren't respraying the entire car and you want the blend to match, like this job did. That's what separates the dilettante from the big-dick professionals.. These guys have this well under control and you can tell they know their shit.

[@todtalk3912]

Some rich idiotic ytuber should do a video painting an entire vehicle with those paint sticks like that. I.e. emptying them into a gun to spray lol. Its be like a 400k paint job lmao.

[@xeno3470]

Just imagine if they made a mystichrome lightning 😳

That would have been awesome! You could have got a Thunderbird or Windstar I'm mistic chrome or mystichrome. The mistic chrome was more purple colored, the misti chrome was more blueish.

[@cerberus1166]

make a different colorshift with the same base color and call it thunderchrome and put it on a lightning. thats some money to be made.

[@ReignofStorms]

Jeeze Chris is such a freaking wizard.... Gotta love the passion and precision.

[@codycurnutte7084]

Agree but I also can’t understand why you wouldn’t do the very best you can. Like that’s your product and a driving business card for your work. If you aren’t passionate about your work or care about the end product then don’t waste your time or others. This man does it right and earns every bit of business he gets.

Yes CHRIS IS BACK IN ANOTHER VIDEO!! I love Chris's vibe and energy especially around painting! I hope you continue to do more videos together in the future!

[@jrusted5.031]

Such a gorgeous color. Mystichrome cobras are my favorite color. It's worth the money you pay. It's a Terminator fan boy thing I guess!

[@maxxedredlineproductions]

Nice! That is one interesting blue, reminds me of TVR paint codes :D

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

That's a great comparison!

I've seen a TVR in that color and it's really close

[@weeb_french_turkish_hater]

the TVRs are more purpleish or am i dumb

[@Adam_S281]

Such a cool video and process! Thanks for the video, didn’t know I’d enjoy it this much

[@Johnnycdrums]

Ford should bring back this color. It would be fantastic on a 60's era Thunderbird, suicide doors or no.

[@neilbrown82]

True they should but fords too busy building eco-junk nowadays to give a shitt about something cool like this

[@Milehighsnake98]

Anyone can buy this color. It's not rare, it's not limited, it was never required to go through SVT to get it with a VIN. That was a totally different color.

[@MrAarongilbey]

Amazing! The original and first owner of my Brabus Roadster coupé had it resprayed from new with chameleon flip paint blended into a metallic flip to the rear. That was very unique and looked great but bloody expensive in 2004!

[@grenade180]

I'm crazy for this type of detail, Chris's spraying technique is outstanding, one can only aspire to be this smooth. Outstanding!

Another forbidden paint color but it's from Honda is Phoenix yellow if I recall. I keep hearing it's radioactive suprisingly and cursed lol.

[@derekfriday7931]

I believe you might by thinking of y-49. Barbados yellow on the crx. Maybe

[@Stormyy]

@@derekfriday7931 Yeah that's the one.

[@ryandubyah2345]

Lmao!! I started this video saying to myself “if it’s anything but Mystichrome they’re lying fuckers”. Easily one of the sexiest paints ever produced, and for anyone else who’s seen it in person it is beyond stunning. Serious pain in the dink to spray nicely, but well worth the effort 👍🏼👍🏼

[@willfink1995]

This was cool to watch. I’m a painter and I used to spray envirobase at my last shop. Now I’m spraying Axalta. Enviro is a superior product

[@402SHO]

There was a guy who went around buying 1$ and 5$ chips from casinos and would repaint them by hand, used airbrushes and did all the special effects to turn them into bigger amount and cash them in. I definitely can believe him when he says that the paint could of been used to make counterfeit cash.

[@tesmith47]

SHO?

[@402SHO]

@@tesmith47 Super High Output. But for the 2010+ models it’s just a name no meaning like the old Yamaha powered Taurus.

now chips over $100 have RFID and tell them what the chip is worth and can also be deactivated if stolen

[@euroshane]

Never really cared for the color untill recently seeing builds with more modern aftermarket accessories added but, this is crazy! That color is so complex! Makes you think how they developed it in the first place

[@infadelakainf]

For some reason I like watching paint videos. It’s like a rhythm to it. Great video

[@Fuaarrkk]

Our B series Falcons here in Australia came out with a colour very similar to that called Fantasy purple. Pretty rare colour, when polished and ceramic coated it’s absolutely amazing.

[@1tarbaby1]

I remember back in the early to mid 90`s there was a paint called chameleon that did the same thing and you could buy it off the shelf, cost $ 1000.00 AUS for a 4 LTR tin plus all the other stuff to go with. They used prisms in the paint to get the effect of light refraction, changing the colour.

[@madmattthehatter]

I saw a Porsche Carrera GT painted with chameleon paint in Monaco years ago. Had a decent Sony camera but couldn't get a good picture of it. Then I noticed other people taking pictures looking at their cameras and shaking their heads LoL tough color to picture I guess. Looked crazy cool though.

[@automotivedidact]

It was /is mica chips in the paint. Chromallusion, Chameleon , etc I believe we’re all formulated using this.

[@goinginsane37098]

They still make flip flop colors - a ton of them. You can still have it done today.

[@NeuKrofta]

Watching a skilled painter work never ceases to amaze me, they are like magicians.

[@a2d]

Dude the episodes where you're in the paint booth are some of my favorites. Loved this. Also, say what you will about Ford, but their colors are sick. I love Tuxedo Black and I'm so happy Smurf has some touches of it. Grabber Blue and Kona Blue are beautiful. The Ruby Red is incredible, as is Triple Yellow. I always liked Guard Metallic. It's simultaneously gray and green depending on the angle. Oh and Molten Orange is incredible, too! There are so many more, Ford does great with their colors.

[@johnstephens7697]

Good job, much respect for giving credit where it's due! 2 painter's working together without Ego&Hate. That's awesome to see. Your paint job is only as good as the prep work no matter who sprays it!

[@kasper_429]

I've always loved this color ever since I first got into cars when I was little. I was a Mustang guy first, then I got into JDM stuff. Mystichrome is like an American Midnight Purple 2 (or 3? It's kinda like a combo of both IMO).

[@dangervybz7522]

Def gonna check into this shop. Been looking for Mustang specialty one in GA 🙌🏿

[@kylehart5440]

So I looked into this a little deeper & it was the ‘96 Mystic color that had a connection to the $20 bill. Apparently you can only obtain it through a paint shop with your vin. Really cool piece of history. These videos are always so great, Thank you!

When using very small amounts of a toner you do not want to use a wooden stir stick. It can absorb some of the color.

[@ivanf4023]

I remember reading a pamphlet when I had to spend time at my mom's work when I was in high school about PPG Transitions paint which was remarkably similar to Mystic and Mystichrome. I loved it. I've wanted something painted in a Transitions color pair ever since but considering it would cost more than any vehicle I've ever owned just to paint a motorcycle gas tank... it hasn't happened.

[@drhodes4204]

Did an amazing job and it looks great, I just have a question about if OSHA rules for paint shops are different? I ask because when I was in Kansas working in a paint shop, we had a surprise visit from them and I got a $5000 fine for not wearing the respirator properly, they said my beard didn't allow a proper seal of the respirator and that's why I got fined along with the shop. Again I'm just curious if things are different based on what state you are in, not trying to cause any issues for anyone. This was also back in 2008 when I had my fine from this.

[@jeffbryner5355]

We painted this at the shop I worked at. I remember we couldn't even pull the code up with our envirobase system. Ford had to bring it out and they took back the material that was left. Stuff was crazy. Even the ppg Chameleon I have is a 100 bucks a oz. Absurd if u ask me haha

[@rpm427sc]

I owed a 96 Mystichrome Cobra for a few years, and after buying the car discovered it was actually wrecked at some point (did not show up on Carfax). The bodywork was awful and cheaply done, but the trunk/quarter/hood was re-sprayed in the super expensive paint, what a waste. I ended up selling the car, and the new owner hired the lowest bidder for transport. The truck driver failed to secure the upper ramp on the car carrier and the top ramp smashed down on top of the car for miles and miles, completely crushing the roof in. Sadly the new owner opt-ed out on transport insurance with the carrier to save like $50, and was left with a totaled car. He then harassed me over the phone/emails for months threatening me, trying to get me to buy car back at full price. Fun times.
