My question is where can I find paint, do I need to get a color mixed to match my black svt or will a regular black the same? Also what do you guys recommend for type of paint, I did some research and think I am going to go with acrylic enamel. 98.5 Black SVT with 34k miles Build #5683 Born on 4\15\1998 WR Headers GMK CAI Blaupunkt system fiberglass tweeter pods L.E.D. tail lights in the works

I think you can order it from bill jenkins right from ford... might be a little on the pricey side... As for paint matching, its pretty much a waste of time/money. unless your black paint is faded beyond belief. I had side skirts painted on my old GL using the factory paint code no paint matching at all and it matched up perfectly. just get the color you need based upon your paint code, it will match perfectly... 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

I didn't particularly care for their clearcoat but I was using the rattle can vs a paint gun. I echo this statement. I used some paint from paintscratch and was happy with it, but had trouble with the clearcoat. Paint matched well. I just could never get the clearcoat to shine up.

Check the paint code on your driver side door, (it's 2 letters) and go from there. 1998 Mercury Mystique LS - Looking for SVT EXHAUST, SVT Rear bumper (silver frost) and ANY rocker mouldings (side skirts)
