It would be interesting to see how long that paint lasts. My old hypercolor shirts didnt last very long with the color shifting (Except in the hot-pitt area).

Great idea and implimentation though! +2 points for originality

If there was a way to make the finish last longer then a regular painted wheel that would awesome. It's cool nonetheless

Thanks for all the complements

It's called a thermalchromic pearl. Or at least that what I bought it as and mixed it into a matte clear. It's cheaper that way. I think there are company's that sell it already as a paint and ready to spray.

It supposedly needs a lot of uv protection so a good clear coat is recommended for long life.

And yes ive had times where the front wheels change completely, and only the rear wheels centers turn bronze and the lip stays black. I have yet to see a hot day since its winter time an I just painted them the other week.
