Heard on the news last night that Ford told dealers to put a hold on ordering tuxedo black and 3 shades of red because they can't get the pigment from japan. They are searching for other sources to keep up with demand.

Delay now on Black & Red Orders
This is interesting story about the lack of paint materials for Ford's black and red vehicles.
Hopefully it doesn't last long.
Kinda of a small issue when you consider the tragic loss of life thats occurred.

Sounds like a winner to me
I doubt supplies will be an issue for that long, where there is money to be made someone will rush in to fill the demand.
