While we're on the subject of -escent paint jobs, who else has seen the iridescent paint on some new TVRs? I saw one that looked iridescent gold coming towards you but turned to iridescent purple as it went past. Crazy stuff.

These are also known as 'flip' paint jobs, because they flip colour depending on what angle you look at them. Not a big fan myself, mainly because I've never seen a nice combination - they always seem to dirty colours to me, and make TVRs look even more like turds than they do already (IMO!)

They becoming more popular with the (richer) boyracer crowd too - seen a Lexus and a Ford Probe with a similar effect. Personally I think it could look really good with something like a Silver going to Midnight Blue, but I've never seen anything so nice - maybe it's not feasible.
