Color shift with the black an color shift underneath the black

[@SeanStrife]

Theoretically, it might work (moreso than color-shift paired with glow in the dark pigments), but I don't know. That might be worth experimenting with.

[@laurean5998]

This looks like a great way to scare the hell out of the guy at the car wash. Imagine you start cleaning the car and it turns black...

[@kathrynck]

Black over white or bright silver would be a nice "all weather" paint job. One which helps heat/cool the car depending on season.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

I wonder if a UV-coating would protect so it lasts longer. Well it will just turn to a regular black car when the it stops working anyway.

[@raymondlynch3377]

You put hypership pearl over the white and the hypership pearl over the black

[@ITpanda]

That's an awesome idea! However the hood would likely always be triggered so maybe a solid color for that or an electroluminescence paint that doesn't fluoresce just color change. A SBC with a photo diode with this paint pigment on it could auto trigger the electroluminescent paint depending on what the rest of the paint is doing.

[@cate2732]

@@SkepticalCaveman uv coating would help slow the degradation of the thermochromic layer, as it is uv sensitive. So you'd need a clear coat with uv protection or holographic flakes mixed in because those can help protect from uv as well

[@mekhimkl2702]

@@ITpanda they have pigments that change color at different temperatures, some of them fairly high. You could just do the hood with that.

[@ErrorCDIV]

That's really cool. Before you peel it and use the M3 in another video, could you show us a quick update on how the effect has worn off.

[@ErectileSceptile]

Curious too. The shelf life for thermochromic paint is quite short, but I'm wondering what exactly that means - does that mean the paint starts to peel after a year or does it just lose the temperature sensitivity?

[@fedor5664]

8:39 that color looks just like it has rusted a bit, maybe an idea for future project? A rusty look

Can you do a test and show us how this thermochromic pigment looks and acts after months on a car? If the colour loss is not too bad, or possible looks appealing still, people might be interested.

[@ITpanda]

I've always wanted a car with thermochromatic paint, ever since my first car (1966 Volkswagen beetle). The idea that a quick car wash would change the color of a car for a short while has been something I've always thought was cool.

[@rsmasterng]

Would putting the DYC ceramic coating stop the shift from happening or would it help the pigments last longer. Wondering if you have tried that already.

[@storm4710]

that would be a fun project

[@62kheavymetal]

this is cool but I really wanted to seen you drive it around a bit and see how the heat from the engine and the air flow affected the pant....

[@arimunic]

Really wanted to see what it looks like driving around. I bet at highway speeds you'd get cool effects where the engine heat and cooling from the wind create cool patterns. Or seeing what happens when you come to a stop after driving. Really disappointed you didn't do that here. I really hope you do a follow up video of taking this to the next level in terms of paint job and then add driving to it.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Would have been cool to drive through a car wash and see what happens ... 🤔

Wow! That's actually amazing. What a cool effect. Thanks for the experiment. Well worth the viewing.

[@josephyeffry1848]

You guys should make like a vlog driving it around for a day and taking clips on how it looks like at 3 to 4 hours intervals and randomly just plashing the car in front of people to see their reaction. This is pretty dope, keep up the good work.

[@dslynx]

This is super sick! When I saw that hot water hit the car and how it looked after.. next project should be doing this permanently, like the pendulum project. Mix up some dip and toss it on the car just like the water.

[@jcsanti222]

6:33 looks awesome

[@baltsosser]

The color to clear is a fantastic product. You could paint an image that was deep and heartfelt. Then paint the color to clear thermochromic paint over it. That feels how we as humans bury our deepest thoughts and feelings, then cover them up with a thin veneer of I'm fine.

[@alvindueck8227]

I used to have little toy cars when I was a kid that'd change coulers when they got warm. This reminds me of those.

[@skillz101989]

Glad to see this here finally....I was planning on doing the paint version of this but I am considering doing it even if it can be reapplied over a dip

[@allothernamesbutthis]

[@SomeGuy-sz1by]

Totally giving me vibes from Batman 87, when Jack Nicholson as Joker wiped off the skin colored makeup from his white face. But now you have to do it again, only this time with the glow in the dark green under the black.

[@ericchild8845]

Would be interesting to see one that is reverse activated by cold water vs hot. The chances of getting your car doused with hot water anywhere other than a high end car wash is almost zero. Now, cold water activated coating would be bad ass and a lot of fun as you drive thru different temperature rain, puddles, etc…

[@Frizzle1981]

That was the single most epic paint mixing and pouring I have ever seen

[@xxZigxx]

obviously the next level is putting a colorshift over the thermoshift, and an alien pearl or interference style pearl would work the best. ive done it on a speed shape and its pretty awesome, but id love to see it on a full car!

[@esracoon]

that layered/shadowy effect it gets is trippy as fuuuuuuck. if only you could splash a pattern on it and "pause" it for a long while.

[@maanma1483]

6:31 "pause" this is awesome paint if its permanent😁

[@alohabychoicefa9968]

Should’ve done a color shift under. Glad your experimenting with new pigments. Let’s see chrome pigment next

[@NoiseBoysGarage]

So sic . You would think if it’s mixed into the clear it should last . But he said it stop changing over time . Hopefully we can see long and then let the customer decide if that time frame is ok . And once it stop changing you still have the top coat color .

[@johnjacob688]

[@mattkelledjian9265]

I'd love to see something like what you guys did with the hot water, just with dip in stead and on a bit of a smaller scale. So instead of the big buckets of water, smaller buckets of dip

They've done it boys. Now we can have a color change car like those hot wheels or micro machines we had when we were little.

[@gennaroturco]

Fantastic project! Amazing result! It's also honourable from you telling us to avoid it since it's an effect that won't last too long! If I could I would do it 100% it's a fantastic party trick or can be used as marketing project with some logos underneath! Very good content I'm glad I'm subscribed so I can't loose any of these crazy stuff! 💪👍

[@joshclayg]

Any idea on shelf life and the result of pigment failure? Ie back to a solid colour or patchy? Thanks

[@tawesssoabbox]

with that slow pour i wish there was a way to capture that permanently. I know you can airbrush a similar design but the organic way it displayed was really cool. Maybe if there was some additive that reacted to a weak acid or something... No clue but it would be cool.

[@woodlandscrew-pa8568]

Actually very impressed with how fast the color reacts.

[@muppetmorales8436]

It's cool idea but my concern would be when you want it to be one color. Eg. At night you'd want the cold color to be dominate. But once you start driving for a bit the hood would be a different color from the rest of the car. Don't think it would look good. Or winter driving. I've always wanted to own a color shifting hotwheel hehe

[@TheFatmer]

I think this is my favourite idea yet. I know DYC are now hard at work trying to make these commercially viable (last longer) 👍

[@PoisonousTaoist1]

This is a game changer! You guys should patent something like that!

[@JoshPelley246]

2 cool things about this is that now you know you didn’t miss a spot when washing your car and if the original color was white then in the summer it would be white and in the winter it would be black

[@jasonwaltman3566]

Glad you guys did this one, I had asked about it back when you did the glow in the dark. Nice to see it play out without putting up my hard to come by budget dollas' 😃 And yeah, go next level on that for sure.
