I decided after having a engine issue that I would restore the car back up. Here are a few pics from the past couple of weeks

The paint is thermochromic paint. Changes with temperature

So as I understand it, ... as it gets colder and darker your car gets harder to see ...

OK, that's pretty cool and they had nothing like that back when I was painting

In another words, your car would disappear in the night.......

lol....kinda....but yea....below 86 degrees its black. above 86 the black pigment turns clear and shows the color underneath, which is kawasaki green with bright green powder on top and glow in the dark.

So, ... if you live in the Pacific Northwet and you want a really expensive black paint job ... or, if you only want to see the true color twice a year under a heat lamp ...

I live in memphis. Temperature is always extreme. But today, inside my dining room sat the hood. It was around 70 in the house, but the sunlight from the window changed it. But only where the sunlight was hitting it. Lol. And it was not expensive. The pigment costs $20 for 10 grams. Which can be used for a quart.
