Heat reactive paint
When I was a kid I had a matchbox Ferrari Testarossa that changed from red to yellow when you warmed it up in your hand or under hot water.
Was thinking the other day that it would be cool to paint a part of a car in this paint. Would probably only work on the bonnet and maybe the wheels
but would give quite a cool effect on a bonnet i think.
Havent seen the paint used in anything else since that I can think of. We use heat reactive paint at work, but it stays that colour after it has
cooled down and it is a faded light colour.
Maybe they were heavily lead based so had to stop being used?

 i had that one too. it went from red to yellow didn't it?
i don't think they were lead based, i think the whole lead thing was well before we were kids wasn't it?
i thought about this years ago too

A similar product is $39 for enough powder to treat 1l of paint. Could you paint a bonnet with 1l of paint?
Not too bad value if you could.

yeah, you could easily paint a bonnet with 1l. you could probably almost do the whole car with 1l
you wouldn't get many coats of a whole car right enough

It's just going to look blotchy though surely? Like that paint the chavs like that's purple from one angle and then green from another
... just looks like vomit in the end. Expensive vomit at that!
