    Default What is a Chameleon colored car?

    Listening to KC news and they said the perpetrator drove off in a chameleon colored car. Does that mean it changes color?????? I just don't understand anything any more. Life is too confusing.

    Hhmmm....

    When I think of chameleons I think of little brown lizards that turn bright green when they are on a plant.

    There are cars that are different colors depending on what direction you are looking at them from. DD had one that was Navy from one direction and dark green from the other. It was subtle, but definitely different colors.

    Never understood how that worked.

    I did see one one day that was bright green and/or hot pink. That was interesting. Surely no one would be so stupid to commit a crime in one like that!

    Or would they? Probably so.

    Well, they will probably have a hard time finding it!

    Yes there are cars that are painted that from different directions and in different lighting appear to be different colors. Chrysler used to have a "Black Cherry" that in certain light appeared burgundy and in other light appeared black.

    I think if I was going to do anything where I'd want to hide that I'd paint my get-away car camouflage.

    Love me some Jon and Val. The one where he asks her if she's had any coffee and she says well, maybe four cups reminds me of Blondie.

    Those color changing cars achieve that effect by the metal flake contained in the paint. Depending on which angle the light strikes, a different color is given off.

    A chameleon get away car, if it were true to the lizard would blend right in to the asphalt. I'm surprised someone hasn't developed something like that already.

    Sandy, re: your camouflage - a friend and I were walking down the sidewalk years ago and a guy was coming toward us, dressed in "urban" camo. You know, the black, grey, white patterns clothes like the old style BDU's, not the desert or digital camo they have now. I told my friend "Watch." As the guy approached, I ran right in to him. I said "Oh, sorry, I didn't see you!" He didn't get it. I thought my friend was going to die laughing, right there.

    There are color changing cars, and they are pretty neat to look at. At one angle, they might look purple, then green, then blue, then gold, and black. It has to do with prisms in the paint. I had never seen or heard of them until I belonged to a car club when I had my PT Cruiser. If you have the chance to go to a car show featuring vintage cars, you'll be sure to see some there.

    I had one that was black and blue. It wasn't very noticeable unless you were next to it. I don't know how I got talked into that paint job. It's not cheap.

    . . . especially since it was bruised and you should have know it had been injured . . .

    We once bought a care from a friend - it was a green VW bug and she had been approached for a free paint job if she'd drive around her 'advertisement car'. SALEM cigarettes . . . it was a fun little car and she needed the money and we needed the wheels.
