Stumbled across an interesting article:

works almost exactly the way SR envisioned photovoltaic paint, apart from the car turning white when the power is off.

I'd try and find a somewhat more explanatory article, but I'm a bit busy and a quick google on the term "paramagnetic" just turns up more gadget type articles

now THAT is cool . . i'll have to fast forward this link to some of my buddies, as soon as i get home from work in about . . 8 hours <.< . .

The best part is when you get pulled over for a speeding ticket and the officer writes he pulled over a black car... and you pull into the parking lot for the trial in a white one.
