Colour changing paint

[waynne]

Would you like paint that changes colour on your car? I'm not talking about flip paints that look different depending on the angle you look at the from but a real colour change paint.

I've been reading on a paint that goes brighter in dark wet weather (Acid yellow) then in the bright sunshine it changes to white to reflect away the heat and on a typical day it is red. The colour change takes effect in 10 seconds and appears to be driven by a magnetic field.

Even if this is just fiction would it be useful? Will this sort of thing catch on?

I like the idea!
Might make it hard trying to find your car in the car park though!

It's not fiction. ABS Motorsport painted a Mk1 Punto in heat reactive paint a few years back. The car disappeared off the radar, then re-appeared resprayed in a different colour before being broken recently. Some of the parts from it will still be on ebay.

See if I can dig out the details for you but there's photos of handprints in a different colour on it where Tony has just laid his hands on it for a few seconds. Ace!

so they are using the same substance that used to be in the t shirts back in the early 90's??

Aha, a bucket of ice water and warm hands:

You never show anything cool.





That is a great paint job though, but I think I would get very depressed with peoples hand prints all over it!

Right, that's the last time I show you anything cool. That means I'll probably have to ban you from reading most of my posts
