Anybody ever detailed a vehicle with color-changing paint?

I saw a Camaro today with color-changing paint (I've always referred to it as "chameleon paint"), which makes it the third vehicle I've seen with this paint. I've yet to see any pictures of a vehicle with color-changing paint on Autopia though. Have there been any pics of this?

Mercedes make a color called Silver Frost. Depending on the light your in it appears silver sometimes and a champaign gold sometimes. Gorgeous color.

I have had a few photos of my 04 Mystic in some threads last year but not a click and brag photo thread. any way here are 2 shots of my color changing 2004 Mustang Cobra.

these next 2 photos will show better the color changes in the Mystic Paint. the paint has small Mica chip in it that creates the color changes.

I have seen one or two of these driving by and the effect is just jaw-dropping.

I saw a Cadillac with it's version of color change paint called"White Lightning". Nice effects, bright white goes to blue-gold-reds in direct light.

That cobra looks really nice.

Off topic but TVR seem to turn out a very high % of their cars with flip paints. They seem to go really well with the curvey shapes.

That Cobra is gorgeous! I have seen 2 convertibles 04 is the Mystic Edition (or whatever its called), Id buy one if I could find one for sale. So is the paint any harder to detial than regular paint?

Thanks for the compliments everyone. wherever I go with this Mystic Cobra I get people stoping to stare. most of there comments are that they are suprised its a factory paint job by Ford.

LightnSvt,
the Mystic Paint is no harder to detail than other clearcoat paint. I am a huge Lightning fan and have owned a 1995 and 2000 Lightning. Hopefully the Lightning is not dead yet and we will see a GEN 3 Lightning someday. I want one.

I love the look of the color shifting paints, but touch ups must be a "beetch"
