Have you you all ever seen an automobile with a paint job that changes colors when at certain distances (from your eyes). At work, their is this Toyota 4-Runner from one of the quality Audio centers ad on it. The unique thing about the truck is that as it's coming towards you, it's a medium color green, then as it passes by you it changes to a burgundyish color, and as it keeps going, turns to amustard green color.

If anyone knows what type of automotive painting process this is, please list it.

I have been delaying trying to posts this notice because I wanted to see the truck a few more times before I commented.

Had to check my Eye site to be sure I wasn't going bananas. I also got some witnesses, so more than one person has seen the colors changing on it, than me.

After Market

You can get a lot of after market paints that do that. My friends stock car was painted with a teal that changes to a deep blue in the sun all the way to black at the track.

I think you're talking about iridescent paint

It's a fad that's came a couple years ago and seemed to go as fast as it came...

it's pretty sweet looking though. I saw it mostly in that bluish-purplish color.
