One of my work mates just asked me if there was any heat reactive paints you could put on cars that changed colour depending on the heat... kind of like the old hyperglobal t-shirts...
If there isn't... there should be.

Global Hypercolour- he hee forgot all about them! Never heard of a paint though- at least cars don't have armpits so it could work  |

Not sure I like the sound of that. It could be cool if the overall body colour changed with outside temperature but the bonnet will always be hotter so would always end up an odd coloured blob  |

Yes, it is available. There is a company in the US making it. It has a Health and Safety application (obvious when you think about it) but also is used a bit on custom bikes. Whether its legal for use in th UK under the new 2007 paint regs is another matter. IIRC it was heinous expensive as well, like £hundreds per litre. alsacorp.com/products/xposurepaint/xposurepaint_prodinfo.htm |

my mate has heat reacative paint on one wall of his "party" room at home, quite funny when your off your face to be pushing bits of yourself against it.  |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Just found this on t'net  Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have now developed a car paint that can change its color due to the temperature. It's now common to build materials which can change colors depending on their surrounding environment because of progresses made in colloid chemistry. But now, German researchers have gone a step further. They've used ion bombardment and gold metallisation to produce new particles whose bonding behavior can be chemically tailored. This could lead to new shimmering car finishes which can change with temperature or humidity, new cosmetics, but more importantly, to new applications in optical data processing. Techno rocks! ;D www.foursprung.com |

As others have stated it does exist, thanks to my dealings in the many and varied markets of car modifying I've come across this product. It's recently seen magazine coverage thanks to Mynheer who used it on an Evo as I recall... It was doing the shows last year. Each to his own, but you wouldn't get me anywhere near the stuff... |

I believe its another one of those paints with a limited lifespan as well so it will be "cool" for a bit and then fade out.
I wouldn;t paint a whole car with it. On the right car it could be cool, especially if you can get ti to match the base colour and then apply some form of "ghost" graphics with the heat reactive stuff and then as the motor heats the bonnet you get stuff happening... That sort of thing.
