Color Change Paint Job




I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores.
This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon.
Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Aunt Lundy, this type of paint job costs alot of money. However, i think that's pretty much th only color scheme that is available. You may be able to find more info, but for some reason, i think those are the only two colors that catch sunlight the right way to morph together. In all honesty, go find a guy with a souped up Honda hatchback with a gaudy spoiler and huge exhaust pipe muffler. He'll be on the strip along the beach at GulfShores. He'll be wering a bandana on his head and a dirty white tank-top, with shiny fake silver necklaces. He'll know where to find out about the paint job you desire. Hope that helps! Cya. HS

Or you could buy a thousand bottles of the nail polish you like! This would be a big project, but knowing you - you could do it! They even have topcoat (nail polish) with UV protectant. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer and get a volume discount. From what I understand, a large part of the cost of what we buy is from packaging. So maybe you could get a barrel of irridescent peach and pink nail polish for cheap! Just a thought.

Here you go. House of Kolor has what you want. The best quality stuff goes for about $600-$800/gallon. There are a couple colors: Red/Gold, Cyan/Purple, Silver/Green, Silver/Purple, Magenta/Gold, Gold'Silver, Purple/Orange, and Blue/Red. Apparently, i was misinformed. Here's the link

If you get this done, you might want to buy a set of rims for it since the rims you have on now might not look right with the paint. There are alot of nice ones out there that don't look like the tacky ones teens buy. But yes this type of paint job is expensive and you'll need to shop around for an auto painting expert who can do this well.

so y'all think my rims need attention !!!
I am concerned about having this paint job done south of the 'salt line' . I am afraid that salt in the atmosphere will be trapped under the paint and eventually rust thru. That is what seems to have happened to my porch lanterns that I had bead-blasted and powder coated. They are just one huge rust mess and will have rusted completely thru in a year or so.

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
