New type of automobile paint now?

Hardly matters, because the farthest that thing will get off-road is a mall parking lot.

Warning! You can get this kind of paint in yellow and you can get it in orange. But if you get the wrong yellow-orange, it looks exactly like infant poo. This may not produce the reaction that you were expecting.

Funny, but just today I saw a Tesla Cybertruck that had been wrapped in a color I’d describe as somewhere between Jif peanut butter and Jello-brand butterscotch pudding from the old box mix:

It was eye-catching, but not too eye-catching. Distinctive; not wacky or Look at MEEEE!.

I didn’t get the babyshit-brown vibe, but I hadn’t been primed by your post. If I see it again in the next couple days I’ll probably have a different idea of what it looks like. Gee thanks. :wink:

Never mind; failure to read for comprehension. :man_facepalming:

Brown has its own problems. But it you’ve been primed by exposure to the real thing, infant is worse. It’s much more unreliably mobile.

My wife’s car (which is only a couple years old) is sort of a mocha color. Which is appropriate because she likes her barista coffees.

Those paint colors look like the factory used Testor’s model paints. Horrible.

I’ve noticed two distinct paint trends. One is the sort of satin one you see on high-end cars like the one in @HMS_Irruncible’s post.

The other is where outdoorsy type vehicles (Ford Broncos, Subaru Outbacks, etc.) are painted in neutral colors. Almost camouflage type colors- sort of a khaki, sage green, olive green, brown, grays, etc… Some are glossy, some are flat.

I have seen more than one pickup around here that has the spray-on bedliner on the outside. It gives it a matte, rough finish that looks kind of interesting and is probably great versus door dings and the like. But at the likely cost of constantly dragging around several hundred pounds of bedliner as paint.

The Vehicross came that way from the factory.
