    and if you remeber on those cars you could brush hot or cold water on to make designs...you could constantly make it a art canvas changing it whenever you want easily

        yeah or if it rains, but then you can just end up with a solid color car. I have a feeling in michigan it would be hard to get the warm color to stick around, all my cars that I heated up always returned slowly to the cold color.

          That would be sweet but $430 per quart is crazy expensive. How much does it normally take (in quarts/pints/whatever) to paint a full car?

                          That product is pretty neat, I like the black to white idea.

                          Believe it or not that doesn;t sound too highly pricd for what you get. We recently painted a new CTS V hood and it was similar to $350/ quart.

                          When we painted my chevelle we used a gallon of base coat, but that included the backside if the fenders, door jams, trunk jams, underside of the trunk, headlight bezels, mirror, rear valance, front bumper filler panel, and the whole body/panels. But it also can vary on what color of a car you have. Like Yellow can be diffcult to get full coverage as well as whites and some reds.

                            Hmmmm... seems like would be cool in an indoor car show, not sure how practical it would be for 8.5 months of michigan weather.

                              its a neet idea... but if you drive the car, the hood of your car will always be hot right? so if your whole car is like blue.. your hood would be white in certain spots.. and im sure it wouldnt be an even heat distribution either.. itd look all spotty.. and im sure that wouldnt look too cool.
