So I was driving through Providence RI late last Saturday afternoon, on my way 
to do pit crew duties at that evening's competition.  (Cool your hormones, 
folks, this is a high school marching band pit crew.  Load and unload a 24 foot 
Ryder truck several times in one evening.)  Anyway, I saw in my mirror that I 
was about to be passed by a fairly new Mercedes sedan that was  a nice sort of 
maroon color.  Now if I ever get around to painting the Tiger again, I might 
consider something other than green, so I planned to glance at the car a couple 
times as it passed, to check out the shade.  Imagine my surprise when a 
yellowish greenish goldish Mercedes fender crept into my peripheral; view.  I 
looked left, and the rear of the car was still maroon, then there was a 
transition zone and the front was gold.  As it completed the pass, the whole 
side was gold, but the rear facing panels remained maroon.

I'd heard of this weird paint being used on some show cars, and didn't Jeff 
Gordon or somebody do a night race with this stuff,? But it looks really weird 
on the street.   Is this stuff more common in California?  Does anyone know how 
it works?  What do the cops write on tickets under "color"?

And,  NO!  I would NEVER put this stuff on my Tiger.

Stu
