The mustang color your talking about is similur to chrome illusion paint. I
cant remember fords specific name for it though. Ford is extremely stingey
with the paint. If a mustang with that paint on it gets in a wreck, the
body shop has to special order the paint from ford. Ford then comes out
with a specific amount of paint for the job, after the job is over ford
takes back all remaining paint. This paint is made with a dye that is alos
used to make money....
