thats awesome, so in an inside car show one color and in the sun another, thats pretty cool . You could probably put shpaes or something on the car and then put it in the sun and get the shapes to be different colors.

yeah be cool to paint the whole car one coluor of that colour changing paint, then the stripes another. so in the sun the car would be black w red stripes and at night cold it would be red with black stripes or with more effect in between

a black car with black stripes that turned colour when hot would be cool. car would be all black in the shade/ garage, then you set off into the sun and you got some red stripes

interesting....

Too much of that would be a bad thing I believe.. whenever the water hits it, it looks like a bird took a s*** on it!
I would put flames on a car, and then outline them in that color..

I definately don't think that it would look great as a whole car application, but if used sparingly, for say stripes or something i think it could look cool... of course that bike looks pretty neat.

WoW!! did you guys see how expensive that stuff is!!! it's $1090 for a quart... how much paint does it take to do a full car???

That's debatable.

I used 1.5 on my car, next car I do I will buy 2 gallons right up front so they are mixed at the same time by the same guy.

problem is there isn't any color in that that's more desireable then another. when the chemical that causes the change breaks down much like the hotwheels and the hypercolor t-shirts did your going to have one expensive and ugly looking color.



doing it on something small like a helmet or similar things is one thing, even a car that never sees sun but a daily driver would cause issues.

That's similar to those pencils they use to make years ago, where you would touch it and the diff. temperature of your fingers would change the color of the spot you touched.

I can see it now, you get a nice new paint job, then your friends play a joke and draw a big ***** on the hood.

Good times.

AHAHAHAHAH. If it was closer to April 1st....I'd take maybe a plastic film, place it on the hood of my buddy's rustang, then paint like a "Powered by Honda" logo on the film. It wouldn't show up until the engine got hot.

Like you said...good times.

i gotta write that down for next year.....
