Is there an automotive paint out there that changes its structure? (example: the faster the car moves it takes on a different color) I have a white Sunfire and would like to see(well not while drivin)some orange/reddish flames appear on the sides.The faster the more intense the flames!

I have been thinking if something simular for fire trucks and police cars.. a thin layer of LEDS under a layer of car wrap... one could make almost any pattern.. almost an led flat screen on your fender..
it would also be great for mobile billboards...
now one other thought... it may not be cheep.. think of holograms.. on car wrap.... that would let differnt points of view see differnt images..
there is the ulitmate option of you want flames beside you car as you drive ... and everybody will be watching you.. buy and drive a AA/FC...
and rembember the snail who went to the sports car shop and ordered the fastest red car they have and paint a big "S" on the door... when the dealer ask why the S.. he said.. so when i speed through town . everybody will point and say.. wow look at that S car go (Escargot )

a nitro burning funny car... maybe the numbers have changed... AA/FC was a nitro burning funny car.. TA/FC was a top alcohol funnycar. AA/TF is a nitro burning top fuel dragster... and so on...
oh and by the way... i could never make it to or through the sema show.. but i did see it on turbo ??? and someone does make a new product that has thermal color change abilitys.. check sema.org for new products ...
the top layer goes opaque (clear) and the lower layers are visable.. it does take a peltier junction to heat the metal under the area . a peltier junction is a stack of electronics that when power is applied one side gets cold and the other warm or hot... most of the time they are used in 12 volt soft drink coolers.. and on top of pc processors...
and thinking about the now you see it paint... look into the auto darkening welding lenses.(how they work) .. that might be able to be done in layers of 3m type clear car protector wrap or printer wraps...with an electrical connection out the edge...

Alsa Corp makes a paint that is heat reactive. Its like a giant mood ring basically and can change from black, to a rainbow of colors. pretty cool stuff, but too colorful for me.
They also make one that does the same thing, but in a white/black white/blue shade. That stuff is cool, but its all expensive.

a sunfire, man, at one time, it was the #1 dangerous car, being put in the same category as the Fiero, i wouldn't suggest any upgrades unless it's a rollcage,
