Seems like a sweet idea, wouldn't mind this on mine just for the mindfuck it'd give anyone looking at it in rain.

I just seen this post on facebook.
The concept is cool but in reality I'm going to end up pissing on everybody's car to make swears and penis shapes.

Do you even drive fast enough for your brakes to generate any noticeable amount of heat?

The question is really, do I brake enough to generate heat? I tend to engine brake most of the time to save fuel haha.

just before you all get mega excited...
this isnt as 'cool' as I first thought. Its not heat sensitive. Its cold sensitive.
So above 18degrees ish it stays the normal colour...its when the top coat is cooler than the base coat that it changes.
I would want it to be other way round personally. so when it heats up it changes to the black

Black cars hold the heat well though, so black when cold is the better way imo.

A girl in the comments section rightly points out that the bonnet would have a 'splodge' on it from the engine heat. In other words, even with the rest of the car black, it'll look shit.
It's 'cool' if you're 9 years old I guess.
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

no the bonnet would only have a splodge on it if the rest of the rest of bodywork had cooled right down to black
its NOT reactive to heat...it reacts to cold

Have a proper look into.it then
Its called thermochromic paint and it can be activated to suit
Some are black then when warmed it will go clear, a different colour or pattern it

I do think it would be cool and useful too if it react when the paint went over a certain temp...show where the heat was escaping on ya car...and I'm sure thats why certain racing teams want some of it!
I dont see much use of it when it only reacts when it cools down
