That is crazy!

And apparently the stuff is extremely cheap in terms of paint, but suffers from UV sensitivity. Thermochromic Paint | Thermo Paint | Temperature change paint | color changing pigments for the ultimate in custom paint.

I want it just for the purpose of freaking out the attendants at a car wash, lol.

What's the temp difference required for it to change?

 

[Gray_Ghost]

Cool, like some of my old Hot Wheels cars

Exactly what I was thinking! Hot Wheels!!!

 

[RedRocketMike]

What's the temp difference required for it to change?

86 degrees.

You know what would be interesting? If they could paint a flame pattern on the hood in that paint. So that as you're driving, and the engine heats up and the hood gets warm, the flames would show up. And when the engine is off, and it cools down, the flames disappear. That would be pretty cool. Flames, or any other pattern or image you wanted, like, in this case, since it's a GTR, you could have a skull and cross bones chewing up a Corvette.

That's an awesome concept... I don't like the execution on the Skyline but you could do some crazy schemes!

That's dope. Real potential for customization depending on if you can pick which colors the paint will switch to

Jim, I like the idea. You lay whatever base coat you want, I.e. skull and crossbones chewing up a vette, or stripes. Then lay down the thermo paint, and once it hits 86° it turns clear and shows the bottom layer. At night/winter you have an all black car, and during the day on a warm one you have a performance white car. Pretty awesome.

seems like it changes back way to fast.

 

[USNjocson]

If I had this my friends would draw all sorts of thermo-painted penies. I'll pass

I see so many pranks being played with this. hahaha kinda cool

I would think plastic bumpers would always be a different color than metal body panels
