I looked into doing this for my project's VC. You can get the stuff... You paint the under-colour on first (obviously) and then paint the special paint on top which covers the first colour up entirely, but when heated (normally over 30 degrees C) it turns invisble revealing the colour beneath. I was going to shave off the DOHC VTEC from the valve cover and then paint it back on and then cover the whole thing with the special paint. Trouble is there's a minimum order of the stuff and it'd set you back hundreds of pounds There is a water-based version for doing hand painting with though

Now if you could find a paint to achieve this without the need for plating, I'd be interested ...

Hah, check these out:

I don't have anything particular in mind Ratty, I was just curious! I bloody love the colour on this S15:

Would be cool to have a change between that purple and NHBP

Hmmm, heat reactive paint. Sound jizztastic. Reminds me of the global hypercolour T-shirts - if you're of a certain age.
