Default Heat Sensitive Paint!

Have you seen this? Paint that changes color with temperature!






This is by no means cheap, but it is an effect nobody else has. (I know it says Honda, but they paint bikes too). For those who seek something truely different.

I'd sure find out who makes it and get the product tech spec sheet, and find out about service life. Think I've seensimilar stuff on other products and when it was finally chemically spent it was pig butt ugly.

I'm afraid I'd go in some place and couldn't find my bike when I came back out cause the color changed.

Yes its from Alsa, I have been messing with it for about a year and a half now. Even the sample Alsa sent me remained soft, easy to damage. I have gotten a good hard finish that has held up for a year of constant demos and still looks great. It needs a clear with a UV protection in it. Works great for real ghost effects.

Nice web site dude. Really nice paint work.I work for a company that makes custom finish among other auto related products, I can have someone come by your place and show you if you like. You most likely know the company and it is available through your local jobber. I know both of the main jobber down your way pretty well and they are excellent customers. Our plant is in Charlotte, if you ever are up this way stop by and I will show you around

NClakeguy,
I probably already use your products. I'm sure you are with SEM, I have been trying some of their products lately, and like them. I am trying to make the custom classes next month in Charlotte. Maybe I'll see you there. (The plastic and leather is the sh*t I use it a lot)
