The new heat paint is pretty damn cool. I wonder if they'll begin using it on helmets and shoes soon.

Might be to expensive painting in production frames and accessories. But it is definitely cool.

I actually dont think it will be all that expensive to produce, as similar technology has been used on regular coke bottles, where the label changes color at a specific temperature

You should be ashamed you don't know who this is, and for being Canadian (or living in Canada).

It's been posted already - they've used the same paint on helmet. Cool, I like the idea.

I like the orange to yellow fade.... but the problem here in the UK is I'd be stuck with a flat orange bike for life. Plus how are you supposed to hide your warm internal motor??? :)

If I accidently get some fluid on my shoes while in the bushes during a 'pit stop', my shoes will turn colors?

That's the best part of it - constant motivation to go on riding holidays to Italy and the south of France :wink:
