Anybody ever detailed a vehicle with color-changing paint?

[White95Max]

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.:xyxthumbs

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?

 

[04MysticCobra]

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"

 

[Justin Horne]

Hi all, this is my first post here, thought it was appropriate.. I was almost thinking it was my car white 95 was talking about, camaro with color shifting flames.. Touch ups aren't too bad, I use Meg's NXT... I'll post a pic for ya...

 

[spotpad]

Awesome paint job!

ChromaFlair is the name of one of these paint systems, their website has a number of PDF's available which may provide some technical information which would be of use when detailing or performing touch-up.



I've seen Nissan and the late MG Rover Group offer these finishes on cars here in the UK.

Isn't that stuff like $3000-4000 / qt?

 

[imported_themightytimmah]

IIRC, its in the hundreds per quart. About 4 grand for enough to do a whole car, I think. I looked into it once.......and only once .

 

[the other pc]

Eastwood sells House of Kolor Kameleon base coat paints for a little under $500 a quart.
