I did however change out the high-tech pedals for my trusty Campy w/ clips because I can't stand newer pedal technology
I'm no painter but it sounds like Mystic, a special paint Ford used on a few '95 Thunderbirds and a couple years on Mustang Cobras. It's very expensive and thus very rare. I found reference that whenever a Cobra needs repainting a representative from Ford brings the special Dupont paint to the Dealer body shop and waits until the car is finished, then takes the leftover paint back with him. Other makes of cars also use a color-shifting paint, but Ford protects it's particular blend for exclusivity's sake, though the Chameleon blue Mystic Thunderbird paint looks very similar to your bike. Cool stuff!
