The "colour changing paint" by Nissan has taken auto blogs by storm last week. As everybody was raving on and on about how this development could change the world, only one site decided to double check with Nissan to confirm the story.

Turns out, you've all been taken for a ride!

i watched Futurecar in Ch.551 yesterday. This is possible to make as they said all colors are made by polymer then we can change color using programmed chemical reaction bla bla bla..but the title itself is "Futurecar" not "Presentcar".
I think, it would be in d market -in d future-, but if it is already available now, it would be very expensive, rare and prototype-level.

Cost A$7000 here to get a car painted in three tone of colour.

So, does this mean that paramagnetic paint does exist and the only misinformation is its not developed by nissan?
