Thread: Thermochromic paint

Autolac in mitchel rd at cardiff just off munybung rd on top of the hill after the workers club could probably order it for you.we dont use them any more as they cant match paint very well but since you just want to order some they would be my first port of call.If not try a realy good panelbeating shop theres a few realy good ones around..If not try a big auto paint surplyer in sydney they will have it or get it in for you..

dobbo, what are you thinking.....

Imagine the heart attack they'd have at the RTA if you did it..

"what colours your car"

its a bluey-red colour

"so its purple?"

no, its blue ATM, its parked in the shade.

"but didnt you drive in in a red car"

yes but it was in the sun then it was warmer

"so your red car turns blue in the shade"

sometimes, the body goes blue when the aircons on but the engine bay goes red then. Its also usually blue up in the mountains, or if its raining lots

"sir are you being a smart ass with me, what colour is your car"

thermocromatic

"see now was that difficult? ok so in laymans terms whats the nearest basic colour to that?"

its a bluey-red.

Hence why I asked about the legality of it.

& if you spread your fingers & put your hand on it it will have a redish hand print till it cools down..

A mate of mine had his bike (FZR 1000) painted in that paint,it cost him a fortune,don't know if the cost has come down since, he had the bike done about 10 yrs ago,it did look fantastic though.

It is legal theres a few motor bike around with it.But they say it hard to paint on right..i havent tried it but i have had a look at it..

As far as i know its not illegal. I did think it was pretty cool stuff at top gear live when they had the 4 ford focus' that went from blaco to white.

Would be cool dobbo. Maybe a phone call to the rta is in order. I will ask at work when im back on next and see if the highway patrol goes know much about it.

cant be any more legal or illegal than the harlequin paint that gets used on cars.......and harleys......they are all street registered........
