Change the color by adjusting the voltage of a small electrical current sent through the vehicles bodywork.

What color do they put on the title/registration? Seems like the police might have a problem with this.

The car would have a base color, other than that I doubt there would be a problem.

My question, is it capable of changing to white or black? (those are not technically colors)

I don't think I would want to change the color more than just tweaking the color I bought a little bit. What happens if the system fails?

I guess it depends what you mean by "fails".

I would assume there is a "base color" with no current running through it like when it's parked.

Not knowing the tech involved perhaps there are other fails that can occur over time.

I love that. Super cool.

I've seen similar tech in a house show where you can have a type of glass that changes it's opacity with current which is used in bathroom shower doors and other features.
