cameleon paint is basically two different color coats. The bottom color is a darker one and the other on top, is a see-through thingy, where you see the actual color, but at a certain angle, when the light hits it, you see the color underneath it. And at different angles, the colors blend together, which can makes several different color blends based off of what colors are used for the top and bottom coats.

Re: chameleon paint
Well I was looking at the number of posts on the camaro forums and we have everyone beats which kinda contradicts your statement... we need help in more than one way
1.) a lot of us are not mechanically inclined
and
2.) We need help in the sense that we spend a lot of time writing posts, and not smoking mustangs

The way I understood it, the paint has crystals that reflect different colors and they are aligned in a certain way that what angle your viewing them on decides what color you see.

Re: chameleon paint
Fishscales.....
I'm not kidding. They use as apart of the paint grinded up fishscales to get the multi-color effect. O_o
