Can't Afford A New Car, Paint It

My favorite color changes on a regular basis as if I were a kindergartner. Recent advances in car paint have made it possible to change the color of your automobile with the click of a button. Don't like your super sweet sixteen birthday present, just push that button and no one will know the difference. 


The paint consists of a "special polymer containing paramagnetic iron oxide particles that when an electric current is applied, it adjusts the spacing of the small crystals within the iron oxide particles and their ability to reflect light and change color." Due to the lack of my car paint knowledge, I imagine tiny prisms that flip around when zapped with electricity thus emitting a different color of the rainbow. Skittles should defiantly look into designing a company car with this new luxury.
