This is from a Jalopnik article:
German scientists have been working on a number of different paint technologies that could appear on new vehicles within the next few decades. One of the most prominent is “chameleon� paint, which would change color to somewhat luminesce at dusk, making vehicles more visible. Not thrilling enough for you, techboy? Then how ‘bout electrically-conductive paint that fatigues and cracks along with metal and alerts the vehicle’s pilot to impending structural failure?
Other ideas include graffiti-resistant paint that would allow offensive, unauthorized peni scrawled across your rear-quarter to simply be wiped away, as well as coatings that resist sap. Our favorite part of the article by far, however, reads as follows: “Research shows sharkskin actually slides through water better and, if sharks could fly, would also be more aerodynamic than smooth, polished skin.� Screw all this paint stuff. Why aren’t they working on inventing a freakin’ flying sharks?
I think it's pretty interesting, but the sharkskin is pushing it. :nervous: I don't know about you guys, but I'm still excited by the Ceramiclear M-B paint!
