What would you do if you went to wash the car and the paint turned colors just like the matchbox cars used to when they were hot and cold, well now they do.

What you need to do is have that paint... and then install some sort of like heat jet system on various parts of your car... so just as you're about to pwn someone racing... your car changes color.
Or even better yet, throw off a cop :-D

Rep Power: 321 On the site it said something about having it automatically change with a press of a button, but not sure how it could do this.

Rep Power: 334 oh man that's nice. how much would that cost?
Edit: nevermind i looked it up. How much paint would be needed to paint an 01 coupe w/ oem spoiler. No paint for hood since it's CF? I want to 'bruiser' w/ a darker blue though. Man that would be sweet

Anyone got any ideas?

Problem is the novelty would wear off pretty soon, at least as far as the general public would want on their cars.

Rep Power: 0 ^ but Im thinking about something directly underneath the paneling. There has to be room there, wouldnt there? Kind of like a radiant heat flooring idea.
The general novelty MIGHT wear off soon... but you could definitely do animation type things... especially if you had a radiant heat setup. The question is, how would you get multiple transformations without multiple layers? Like, they'd have to sell you a paint that was black(0F) to blue(50F) to red(65F) to white(80F) or something like that.
Or, you could alternatively buy a black to red, and a black to blue and a black to white... hmmm, Im just curious if the blacks would overlap, if it would stop the red from coming out or whatever.

Rep Power: 321 When reading the site, it really only says that it switches two colors, cause at or below its one color, and above that temp its another. It would be cool to change at 60, 75, 95, 115.

Rep Power: 321 I loved that movie! Man, that was a long time ago. But i bet that it wasn't the paint that changed colors, they did some editing with the camera angles and pictures to make it seem like that. If it was so long ago then why hasn't it been some big thing until now? And why does it cost so much.
