yeah you might be able to get it from Ford, call a local Ford dealer and ask
But any body shop should be able to get the right mix too

noob · April 7th, 2007, 07:54 PM

alright thanks man

WAR-PARTY · April 7th, 2007, 08:20 PM

Yup Ford has it, they had to do some touch on mine just before I took it off the street. Ya I think it's a good color

noob · April 7th, 2007, 09:06 PM

hey war party if you know. how much does a gallon of that paint usually run from ford. if your not sure dont worry about it can call a ford dealer sometime thanks though.

OcOnnor220 · April 7th, 2007, 09:22 PM

The dealership wont give you anything but a small bottle of touch-up paint, go to www.autopaintlibrary.com to get Ford factory color chips in specific brands along with paint supplies and different types of acryllic paint and clearcoats....this is the way to do it you cant find this paint anywhere else not even Sherwin Williams.

alright it looks to be 115 bucks a gallon which leads me to my next question. if anyone knows how many gallons it will usually take. estimates is all im looking for thanks.

mineral grey is a great looking color. i almost bought a mineral grey one, but i got a black one. black is a beautiful color but its a PAIN to keep clean. i'm lucky to have it stay clean for 2 days. mineral grey really hides dirt and water spots nicely!

noob · April 7th, 2007, 10:21 PM

yeah i was considering black but man that mineral Grey is really catching my eye.

WAR-PARTY · April 7th, 2007, 10:56 PM

I got a wonderful parts guy I' call him Monday and get you a base price.

I wanted a black Cobra but my girl friend wanted the mineral grey. So now I have the MG and it always looks clean. I want to kiss her for it. Sometimes on cloudy days you don't get to see the metalic in the paint and it just looks like a big brown turd. Good news is there is only 302 mineral gray terminator cobra coupes. All 03 production-0 for 04. Nothing is more beautiful than a clean/shiney black mustang though.

Amen to that! With a black car the Clifornia Duster is your best friend. LOL

My favorite Ford color is definitly Sonic Blue. With the metallic flakes in the paint that color looks incredible when it's clean and waxed. It never really looks dirty. I used to get compliments on my V6 when I thought it was flithy.

That picture, thats exactly what my 01 GT looks like now, minus the matching rocker molding (which I just ordered in the right color), right now its OEM 03 Cobra molding that I painted gunmetal grey with a rattle can.

Haha .. thanks for using mine as an example !!!

As far as black is concerned .. DON'T do it unless you have unlimited funds.. it costs so much to keep black presentable .. you have buff it almost every time you wash it or you'll see swirl marks .. and I mean a good buffer and know what you're doing haha .. it really isn't worth it unless you bought the car black .. trust me .. I painted 2001 silverado 3 times ( it was a show truck - shaved bagged custom everything ) 1st black with a white pearl .. then black with a red pearl .. then black with a blue pearl .. everytime i shot myself in the foot for doing black .. lol ..

I prefer dark shadow grey over mineral grey .. but if you're gonna buy paint .. just ask around a different body shops of where they buy their paint .. and go find it .. I know the guy I get my paint from is Bradley Auto Supply in Concord NC .. he carries dupont .. HOK ... etc .. so you know good stuff plus since i was needing color matched to my existing paint .. he took a reading off my hood so he could mix it the best to match my paint ..

Black is definitly a PITA, but I only buff mine maybe once a month. If the car wasn't already black I don't suggest it.

MeZ · April 8th, 2007, 02:44 PM

But you know what I'm talking about .. even using a sheep skin wash mit .. and drying with a leather chamie ... you are gonna see fine scratches in the clear that show up on black .. IT SUCKS !!!

But it does look good ; )
