Not an idea- just a wish. Welcome
[pixeltarian], now you are that "someone"
who must do the figuring out. |

This idea has some issues,mostly with rust, unless rust is your solution. There are only a few metals who are not affected by rust and thus can be colored, i.e. gold, stainless steel, nickel, platinum and probably a few more obscure/expensive ones. Of these only stainless is suitable for body panels. There are also a few that do rust but in a skin like fashion, i.e. aluminum, titanium and Armco(TM). If this idea were to work, I think your best plan is to colorize the "rust" on one of these. This has already been done with titanium in jewelry, and it looks amazing. Similar processes could be possible with the others I would think. Then when you got a scratch, you could buff it out and then grow back the same color rust |

I want a car made of coloured titanium. Do you think it might increase the cost of production? |
