That's nothing. My '51 has that kind of paint job. Just walk around it and watch it change from green to black to blue to primer to rust and back to green. Nothing new in the automotive world! LOL

 

I am also wondering if the video has been enhanced. I have never seen a paint job change that much. Some paints look a bit different when the light changes or the angle you are looking at it does but not that much. Just wondering??

I've seen and used the color shifting paints and have never seen an entire panel shift at once.  The contours of the panels dictate how the light refracts off it and you can get a rainbow effect out of it.  That was 10 years ago and the new formulas may do full panel shifts that I'm not aware of.  I've seen Dupont's paint chips for their Hot Hues line and they flop colors dramatically in the sun.  PPG has a line similar that flops.

Finally got Flash working on my laptop after many months so took a look at that. At the bottom they said "It works by running an electrical current through a special polymer applied to the vehicle before painting."

 

You can watch the video directly without all the Flash crap at http://www.chonday.com/Videos/1paintcarchwo.mp4

 

Unfortunately the site appears to be a "video of the day" type of place and it does not credit where they got it from which might have more information.

 

Same video appears to be posted on YouTube at 

with the description:

A revolutionary technology that allows you to change your vehicle color using your smart-phone or built in controls. Prism shaped metallic pigments are rotated based on the voltage frequency dispersed throughout the vehicle body, giving you the ability to change your cars color.

 

There is a different video with a similar theme at 

 

Something here: http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/paramagnetic-paint-lets-you-change-your-cars-color-on-a-whim/

Still not enough for me to determine what the heck is going on. Tempted to call it a hoax as there seems to be no definitive original source for the "information" but maybe. . .
