cool colour changing car

For all you James Bond or spies wannabes, you might find yourself intrigued by Nissan's innovative paramagnetic paint coating, probably seeing action in the year 2010 on its production models. Working on the premise of a unique polymer layer that features iron oxide particles applied to the car body, a series of colors can be chosen and changed on the car with a varying level of current.

Bored with the white, wanna change the color of the car to classic black? No sweat, just flick a switch and…voila! The color has gone from white to black. It's not some sci-fi stuff that I'm dishing out, but its something Nissan has been working on for a while. They have developed a "paramagnetic" paint coating, which is a unique polymer layer that features iron oxide particles that are applied to the vehicle's body. When an electric current is applied to the polymer layer, the human eye then interprets the crystals in the polymer as different colors. Depending on the level of current and the spacing of the crystals, a wide range of colors can be selected by the driver. A steady current is needed to maintain the color effect, thus the paramagnetic paint doesn't work when the vehicle is turned off and hence the vehicle switches back to a default white color.
