I thought this was interesting. Although its only good for three years and then what? Do you get it applied again? If you already have a car can you get it applied?

I saw that on Digg the other day. Should be good once they get it perfected.

 

That's crazy. A paint that literally acts like water (although very slow water). Sort of reminds me of terminator 2, and that T1000 that sort of melts and comes back together

 

Think of it more like a paint with tiny bubbles of wet paint embedded in it. Scratch it, break the bubbles, they fill in the scratch. Only works so many times. This sort of thing has been in design for years, concrete with impregnated epoxy, that sort of thing.

What I'd like more to see is cars with bright colors embedded in the material of the body panels, no painting required.

 

cool

 

Very neat!

 

Yo! They should call it self-healing paint! *Runs to patent office*

 

neat

 

hey, if it works. they might be onto something good. bet it will be expensive to repair if you are in a fender bender though

 

heck just using primer that is close to the car color would help immensly. My black car has whiteish primer and my mothers silver one has black primer..bloody brilliant move if you ask me!

please note my sarcasm
