Multicolor paint

I'm sure you guys have all seen that paint that is different colors based on what angle you are looking at it from. The most popular is gold/blue/purple. What do you think of this? I'm not getting it for my car or anything....... just wanted to know your opinions

JoeB16 is right...

It was the hot ticket at NOPI back in 2000! Kind of played out now, although it still might be effective in SMALL quantities as an accent on a black car.

I did like it at first but now I don't just cause I see it everywhere. I like the solid colors or a solid color with one coat of pearl added.

It's nice if its done right. Too many inexperienced shops dont' know how to lay down the paint. And it also cost like 6G's to get it done.
O yah, its called chameleon color paint job.

For a short period of time, the Mustang was available in somewhat of a multicolored scheme. While it was a long time ago and I wasn't a cop back then, I'd have to say it would attract my attention and probably irritate me at the same time. I would also assume that not many people could do it correctly...
