Paramagnetic Paint : Change Colour As You Like

[MeraBoy]

One of the hardest decisions when picking a new car is choosing the right color but the day when cars will be available in multiple colors could be here sooner than you think. Scientists have developed a new coating called ‘paramagnetic’ paint that has the ability to change colors at the touch of a button. One carmaker looking into the technology is Nissan, which has already developed a self-healing paint.

Before the vehicle is painted, a special polymer containing the special ‘paramagnetic’ iron oxide particles is applied to the car’s body. An applied electric current then adjusts the spacing of small crystals within the iron oxide particles and therefore affects their ability to reflect light and change color.
The process is perfect for metal objects like cars because a continuous small current is needed to maintain the desired color. When the vehicle is switched off, the car returns to a default color of white.
The coating has the ability to reproduce any color visible to the human eye and it takes less than a second to change the entire car. The first commercial applications could be on the market as early as 2010.

yup, I agree, last time I saw a car that can change color was in VIPER.. I thought it's ridiculous back at that time.. but now its coming true..

it going to be harder for the law enforcer later..
for the cops to nail down a car with specific color.. for the custom and RTD to put the real color in the grant.. hehehe

later.. cars that change color based on mood, the driver's mood that is.. hehehe...

Hmm... Thought I heard that the Sultan of Brunei had one of this colour changing car a few years back... the problem is, you need to constantly polish it. Otherwise, there will be spots here and there... maybe due to the paint polymer contain... ??
