I have color shifting paint on a few of my interior pieces. It looks ok, but not very classy. I'm actually quite tired of it now and I'm planning on stripping the paint to do a carbon fiber overlay on my dash pieces.

Its your car, if you think it'll look hot then go for it. Our opinions shouldnt really matter. But it could look really gawdy depending on what color you do it. And then you'll be stuck with it unless you buy a new diamond emblem. If the whole car was color changing then yeah it might be a nice accent piece. But if thats the only thing on the car it'll probably look really out of place.
