If you thought the price of gas was expensive, wait till you hear about this one special Ford Mustang sports car that has an “illegal” paint job which costs a whopping $26,000 per gallon.
The New Edge SN95 SVT Cobra Mustang has all the horsepower drivers of this supercharged vehicle could want but a few special owners got one that contains a special paint job with Mystichrome color-shifting paint, MotorBiscuit reported in a piece published Tuesday. It turns out the paint is actually “illegal” for anyone that doesn’t have Ford’s permission to make or use.
The Mystichrome paint only ended up on 1,000 of these special Terminator Cobra’s, the piece noted. The “illegal” paint can be seen on right around 500 convertibles and another 500 coupes or so.
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 legendary V-8 car’s 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.
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.
What. Load if BS. Color shifting paint has been around for at least 25 years. Yes it is expensive, but not $26,000 per gallon. Even if it was, Ford doesn’t put their paint on very thick anyway.
I use an adhesive that’s $95,000 per gallon (yes, you read that correctly) so I’m not very sympathetic to this. Fortunately, I use it in extremely small amounts.
Looks better on the GT.

Paint that provides invisibility… call me when you invent that. Meanwhile, IDGAF.
Schitt…. I will paint the dam car with
my harbor freight $29.99 paint gun and
some Limco el cheapo acrylic enamel
for $90 a Gal. from auto parts store.
You need the expensive tip for shooting paint with gold or silver flake.
I’m prepping and sanding but I’m gonna pay to have the final paint laid down.
If you have the money to buy one of these Cobras you aren’t going to be concerned about the paint if it needs repair. The owners are probably not using the car as an every day vehicle.

I was born poor going to die poor. No problem…I’m happy rich, and you can’t beat that.
Rustoleum will cover it right up.
Rich boys and their toys and no the ones with the most toys don’t win because you can’t take it with you. I have a satisfied mind, do these rich turkeys have one, seriously I doubt it. What good does it do you if you have all the worldly goods in the world like the most money, the biggest house, the most expensive and fastest car, the sexiest trophy wife etc. you and have lost your soul.
How many NBA, Arabs and douchebags use this paint?
I will paint any car for 19.95!
Painted my first car with a brush. Looked good from a distance 🙂
That’s only a third of the cost of your average coof shot, converted to gallon price. If you’re talking Pfizer premium (that sponsors all the state run media), it’s 1/6 the cost of a gallon. And this paint, with travel restrictions, doesn’t need to be frozen.
Expense is relative.
Is it key proof?
As a bonus
Earl always painted your tires and glass too. Ahead of his time with blow and go.

Painted my last car with a foam roller. Yup, it looks just fine for the dirt roads it gets driven on.
Shew…. I bought an entire 2018 Mustang for less than that gallon of paint.
When shooting paint that contains gold or silver flake, you must have the more costly tip.
