@@ilosssssshx or they will wait till they can buy one resale with no ford contract saying you cant use the paint. which isn't all that rare a type of paint. dupont even clones the exact mystichrome. I dont even prefer ford's mystichrome as much as the colorshift pearls dupont makes or even this new shit from jds uniphase called chromaflair. or you can go subtle look a white color shift pearl over white base coat (this one was actually done in plastidip too so it could come back off if the guy wanted to swap it up).

I’m not a fan of the paint at all but the contract has nothing to do with it as if it was taken to a 3rd party it wouldn’t have the certs etc basically the value is only there if it’s oem, it’s like Shmee painting his sls mystic blue most likely tanked the value

did you even watch the whole vid 😐

Yeah, really. Like what law would you be breaking? The title of this video is 100% clickbait bullshit.

pretty sure what he meant is, its illegal to obtain it, since ford is the only one that knows how to make that color

@@pineapplekun8769 Polychomatic paint isn't that hard to get anymore. You can get custom ones mixed by lots of paint shops all over the world. He paid $100K for bragging rights.

@Brenton Lewis 1. I just checked assignments.uspto.gov and no they haven't. 2. You can't trademark a color. 3. The trademark would be entirely unenforceable even if you could since there would be no marketplace confusion.

You sign a contract to follow their rules when you buy the car. You don't follow their rules you're in violation of their contract.

Its not jail illegal, its lawsuit illegal

Agreed that doesn't make it illegal. If some paint company wants to make a knock off version of that color using original techniques and and sold it as misty-chrome or chromatic-mist it would be perfectly legal. Maybe you spend $20k instead of $100k for the knock off but you haven't made an argument for why its illegal.

@@manOmanyTrades That's not true. If it's patented then both the production method and finished product are illegal to sell. Changing the name doesn't matter. Edit:. Double checked. It is patented. You can check for yourself if you like

@@TheExileFox its not illegal, its not a crime

@@Kingcloudii well ford locked color as their personal creation and made it where nobody else can use it on their car, so if someone ever recreated it, it probably /would/ be illegal as some sort of copyright/trademark

@@ouynotun You can't copyright a color for general use in the United States. You can copyright it for a business logo, but not in the sense of "We own this color and no one else can use it." The reason this is "illegal" to do is because Ford has a contract with the owner of one GT that says Ford will not paint any other GT with that color. Some car companies have rules like that: "If you want our best car, you cannot paint it pink" is a rule for owning one of the Italian supercars. However, the strength of these contracts is dubious, as customers retain a right to modify anything that they own. To that end, most supercars are not properly owned, but rather they are leased, and the company can recall the car whenever they want. Basically, you can paint your Ford GT whatever color, but it might violate the contract you have with Ford and they can take civil action against you if you use this exact paint (or whatever other paint they don't want on their vehicles).

@@ovni2295 the word i was meaning to use is trademark. Its a specific created color. Many companies have trademarks on specific colors, though this is more for other brands copying their color the same concept applies and it is technically illegal to copy unless used for reference

friend of mine works for ppg platinum dealer and he said the mystichrome ford secrecy is BS any truth to that? he said he mixed up some without ford on a 03 cobra

IZE83L Any paint color and can be replicated. Might not be absolutely spot on but will be close enough that the average person wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

@@IZE83L I've never heard of this until this video, it sounds like a bs sales scam to me. In the mid 90s Dupont came out with "chrome allusion". At that time it was the only chameleon paint that I knew of, it was around 350.00 for a pint. The price came down over the years as it lost its hype and other paint manufacturers started producing it.

More than half of it is to keep anyone else from ordering it.

@@mikelliteras397 they can have it wrapped in the exact same color.

I’m guessing he liked the blue and orange look. Or mystachrome and orange 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nope. Not available to have the calipers painted. Ford will not do any other color than what is available. Regardless of how much money you try to give them. It is an impossibility to get ford to do it

@@technom3598 mystichrome was impossible as well until someone coughed up the cash 💁‍♂️

@@wonderbreadjumps trust me. It can't be done. First hand experience.

Yeah no kidding

@Alex Morrison no its literally against the law its illegal

@Alex Morrison Ford won't do any other GT in this colour, so if you don't steal the paint from Ford, which is illegal, or re-engineer it to exactly match the Mystichrome paint, which is impossible due to the color changing nature of the paint, you can't get a Mystichrome Ford GT. But the word illegal is still used very loosely.

@@Flying_Spaghetti_Monster Car painter here, we make this stuff about once a month, it's not hard at alllllll to make, we have light probes that we rest on a car to color match it and a machine that literally just pops up a code and from there if you have a really nice paint shop then it'll get automatically made, or you can do what we do and just weigh out the colors it says to mix and it's done, as far as the "mystichrome" bullshit, it's just green/purple pearlesence powder, you mix it in to the blue base coat. I'm serious this shit is incredibly easy to make, it's a mix of about 4 colors to get the correct shade of blue and then 2 types of powder, the G/P glitter and regular fine sivved silver glitter. So in summary, no it's not remotely "illegal" to paint your car this color, if it is then my and many other businesses are running a criminal empire lol. Also you can fine tune it to be any base color or pearlesence powder you want, purple base with Red/Blue pearlesence is super popular too.

The ford GT costs 500,000. Fun fact Ford actually doesn't make really any many making it. They just make it for strictly HALO car to show off American Ford engineering. And everyone is hand built by a very small team in a gaint room. It's pretty crazy and they send you pictures on them putting it together. Jay Leno actually explains it better on his garage show. He made his own and it's very nice. Black with orange strips.

You can't see it in this video but it works

Jusbert Meza well... British engineering lol

You can't get the exact same paint code and Ford won't paint it the same color for anyone else. You can paint it similarly, but you can't paint it the same.

@@amorton94 That doesn't make the paint illegal to apply to any other GT. There's nothing legally-speaking to stop some paint expert from reverse-engineering the color, producing it, and applying it to another car.

@@mwhite112393 I didn't say anything about the legality. Ford is in a legally binding contract, so they can't legally put the color on any other GT, so it's not entirely clickbait. The title doesn't read "Why You Can't Legally Paint A Ford GT This Color", but maybe it should read "Why It's Illegal (For Ford) To Paint Another GT This Color". Either way, I digress. My comment was simply in response to borna asi saying "paint the same way". Nobody is going to get this same color on a GT. I'll eat my words if proved otherwise.

@@amorton94 Someone with some actual logic for once. I might add that it should be clear at this point that odd colors such as these tend to be more of a pain to match without the proper code/recipe. It's been harder-to-impossible to match lesser crazy colors so the thought that "any shop can just reverse engineer it" is overtly naive.

@@oscarkilby4033 Yeah, seem to have seen loads of TVR's with this kind of paint.

*Hold my sake

Didn't he say in the video that painting the ford GT was illegal? That's probably why he didn't do that.

@Abdul ElTawil It's not illegal. They sold you the car and that's the end of the story, you can do whatever you want with it including painting it, or pushing it off a cliff if that's what you want to do. Ford don't get a say. They might try and control the specific paint they use but others have recreated it very closely and you can get a similar effect put on the car for a fraction of the cost and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and the real one.

oBLACKIECHANoo cars in this class are investments. The stock color is catalogued and re-finishing it after the fact would cause the owner to eat a loss later, no matter how well it was done. But in the end buying a car with intent to sell it later on in 2019 is a fool’s errand. We have maybe a decade or two, tops, of stable functioning modern society left as we know it.

@@oBCHANo When I was in tech school (for painting) one of the instructors had a story about that paint code. It was something like Ford had came out with this color and the government showed up and basically said to show them how to make the color because somewhere in it is a color in money. I don't know how true it all was but he did say for a while, the feds wanted to be around when they mixed the paint. Granted that was in like '07 and color changing paints have come along way. As for the price, the shit isn't cheap. Last time I priced it, it was somewhere around $3500 a pint sprayable.

MuscleDad420 we run out of gas in a few decades anyways
