A blind guy would love to see it.

If it don't go; chrome it!... or maybe shoot it with Mystichrome.

It’d be cheaper to spray your car with inkjet printer ink.

I just want a car paint that changes color when wet like my old hot wheels!

I am such a piker. The most I ever hoped for was a spray job using DuPont Imron. The time I spent visualising my Austin Healey sporting an overcoat of that liquid gold...

I had a business partner with that paint job, more than a few years back. It was a brand-new thing, then, and she was proud of it.

It looked very different, but I did not understand just how expensive the color was.

Years ago my relative (a young lady) bought a new car that had a “chameleon” paint color.
She didn’t have it very long before she drove it to downtown St. Louis and was carjacked at gunpoint.
She never got it back. It was found stripped, in pieces, over on the east side.

Meh. It’s a purple Cobra with 390HP. Kind of ugly, IMO.

I had to check all the responses before I replied. I am a retired auto body shop owner,and heard about this paint. What makes this paint so expensive and a pain in the ASS to get is the green tint in the paint is the same ink used to make Money!

There was a mustang that color in a body shop that color getting fixed. The jobber that mixed the paint said it was a pain in the ass to mix the paint.

The shop had to know exactly how much of the base coat needed to cover the area to be painted. When they got the green tint it came from the US Treasury Department and the Agent was there when they mixed it. Any left over tint was taken back with him! I heard the paint was an absolute Bitch to match!

My ‘58 VW bus was kept rust free by a top to bottom coat of roofing patch thinned with gasoline. Took two weeks to dry, but was indestructible and very zero maintenance. Stealth bus.

My late Dad was a wiseacre and when asked what color he preferred, he would say: “Sky blue pink with yellow checker dots”. Although every new car he bought was red.

Was driving out of Nashville when I saw one of these on the I-40 merge. Immediately thought "There's H.P. Lovecraft's color out of space!"...and a traffic hazard from the distraction of ever-shifting hues.

Still pictures can't convey the unique quality of this paint job so here's a short video of a walk-around.

I always thought a car done entirely in chrome would be cool - but would be hell to see over the hood in bright sunshine.

Every Automotive Paint Guy I ever met were colorblind. Perfect for matching paint by shade not the color.

Only certain body shops around the country could spray the paint

I call BS. Earl Scheib will paint that car for $99.95

Earl Scheib will "PAINT ANY CAR for $99.95"
