Someone has had to have seen this before, if so delete this thread please. I searched and nothing came up.

:dancing: Personally i think it is a cool idea. It doesn't sound like "science fiction" at all to me:

"The technology works by running a current through a special polymer applied to the vehicle before painting. This polymer contains particles of 'paramagnetic' iron oxide. With the application of an electric current, the spacing of the oxide's crystals is adjusted, affecting their level of light reflection and thus our color perception."

That is easily done already in chem labs. In fact i just did that in a lab last semester. But anyway, this would definitely take the stress out of picking a color!

that would be awesome even for wheels, have bronze or black or whatever.

this reminds me of the glass technology that goes opaque on a hit of a switch

man, nissan is also designing "self-healing" paint...that would solve our issues.

 

[kenchan]

yah, im more interested in the self-healing paint... imagine no swirls wat so ever even on a black car.

 

[TOMMIELOEKO]

wowser!

i need some self-healing paint on my chicks car!

 

[NitrousG35]

How cool would that be to be able to change color with the flip of a switch. As others have said, the same idea could be applied to wheels as well. It would certainly be fun to change colors on a whim.

how does that work

I'd be more afraid to lose my car...

"I swear, I parked my black car right there....*beep* that can't be it..it's red..."

mbenz has been using nano particle paint for years now. supposedly it is not as prone to scratches, swirls, and rock chips.

its also prolly why mbenzes weigh so much

Haha, i can see that happening.

i saw this concept idea on discovery channel, i think it was Future Cars. It will happen

 

[07BlakBlak]

Its not gonna happen if Cops get their way. See a Black Si running a light, turn the corner and switch to white just as you see another white Si.....

I dont think so.

 

[drnknbndr]

This is terrible for cops.
They hear on the radio that a Black Civic Si robbed a bank, and that same car whizzes by, but in White.
ftl

 

[cypress]

i will take the self healing paint any day!

thats exactly where the problem lies and why we might not see it for a long time

Change paint color by button by 2010?

Nissan claims they have it. You supposedly could be able to change the color of your whip by the press of a button in a few years. Peep the article y'all:

Hmmm neat!

wonder what a magnet would do to it... mg:

 

[Yospeed]

God damn I want this so bad now.

 

[seans-fbp-si]

what about that movie that the guy sprays it a differant color with a power washer.. i think the movies called The Jackal w/ bruce willis

 

[HondaFREAK]

you're more likely to see the healing paint
