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

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.

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

Perfect paint job for a getaway car, and I'm sure that's how we'll see it used in a movie. Bad/Good guy, makes a run through a car wash or broken water main, the guys chasing don't see him, (of course he's gone from a hot looking Red car to a boring looking White car, with melt away body mods).

why even through a car wash? Why not just some sort of way to heat the outside of the car? Heat coils underneath the panels?

Anyone got any ideas?

Pretty sure if you wanted to you could send current through the panels to heat it up and get it to change, much like blackout windows in planes and hotels. But whatever you did, for a rapid change, you'd want it to do so in a uniform manner, rather than the blotchy look from spot heating/cooling, which would give to the finish that rear window defroster look (stripped), at least until the panels heated or cooled to the temp that allowed for the effect you were going for. But it would be kind of neat to see several color changes/effects with different temperature ranges. Flowing flames, waving flags, even animation, all with color changing and of course heating and cooling.

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

^ 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.

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.

Right, but they said they can do multiple stages, or multiple temps.

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.
