You can get paints like that from specialty shops,
House of Kolor is one of them. Mazda didnt make and doesnt
make thier own paint, so they get it from someone, being as they
are owned by Ford and Ford uses BASF I would look to them.
BASF is the same comany as R-M as well. Ford used BASF for the
mystic paint job on that Cobra Mustang in 1996 and in 2000.
Cant put a pic in here so I cant show you.

look at some color charts for those paints its actually tiles that are painted in the color, not a tiny 1" square like normal color charts. You are bound to find something you like.
Expect to pay at least $500 a quart or so, even more for some of the more dramatic effects. Normal basecoats are about $50 a quart, Im giving shop prices, and you still have to get a base and pay for clear.

Last cars I painted:
I paid about $500 for my paint, but the clear I used cost me $225 for the kit and I pay 5% over cost, its DuPonts top of the line clear, and the car is 2-tone.
The vert I just painted cost me MUCH less because I did it in single stage polyurethane.
Im not including primers in the costs either.
