Holy Thread Necromancy.... lol.... Yes and It's still something Special....

Fukushima Accident:

The shortage of a specialty pigment that gives cars a glittering shine has prompted automakers to temporarily restrict orders on vehicles in certain shades of black, red and other colors. Major automakers, including Chrysler Group LLC FIA.MI, Toyota Motor Co (7203.T), General Motors Co (GM.N) and Ford Motor Co (F.N) use the pigment, called Xirallic, produced at only one factory in the world — the Onahama plant near the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power station in Japan.

Red Jewel Tintcoat was one of the colors affected. I believe it was late 2011 or early 2012 that it was replaced with Crystal Red Tintcoat.
