I went to Ford to get some touch-up paint for my 93 Cobra (teal), and apparently they haven't made it in a long time. Touch up paint! That's a basic necessity for maintaining any car, and it's simple and cheap to produce. Not to mention the enormous mark-up they get for it.

This just brought home to me how Ford seems to be forgetting and abandoning this special edition vehicle. For many years I haven't been able to buy interior parts and many operational parts.

Have you tried calling reputable paint shops and giving your paint code and model,etc?

Old school SVO parts seems to be going up on price looking on Ebay. Like those 84-86 SVO Marchal square fog lights and taillights go for $$$.$$ usually.

Buddy of mine just got a portion of his teal 93 cobra repainted at "Crocket Auto Body."

Might want to try them and see what they say.

If you're in the east bay, check out San Leandro Color on East 14th st. They can mix spray cans and can probably do small brush type containers.
