James Bond Peelable Automobile Paint
Anonymous Coward writes "Akzo Nobel has developed a unique temporary paint system which can peeled off after use. Known as Maskin, the product can be applied to any non-porous surface, such as a vehicle body or windows, without risk of damage to the original finish. Maskin (a combination of the words mask and skin) is available in eight basic colors, plus one transparent film, and can be mixed to create a wide spectrum of shades. When no longer required, the film can be peeled and disposed of using standard paint waste removal methods."
I bet the Police are ecstatic about this innovation
just because your a schizophrenic doesn't mean people arn't really out to get you
I smeared paint all over my windows, now I can't see what I'm typing.

... until this one is banned because of potential use by terrorists.

HA! Michael Jackson has been using that on his face for decades.
Great. Now my wife is going to want me to repaint the car depending on what outfit she's wearing.
Oh man, the practical joke applications of this are enourmous. Pity it looks like it'd take a while to apply a full coat. Needs to be readable available in a spraycan.
The 'insta latex clothes' could be fun too...
Waiting for an amusing sig.
I thought that was Johnny Dangerously.

If Nalgene water bottles are outlawed, only outlaws will have Nalgene water bottles.
Oh please, this is old news. Earl Shive and Macco have been using this technology for years.
I thought the headline said "Peeable Auto Paint"
Boy that would sting...
Seriously, I have a 1992 GM P.O.S., the paint peels off it just like the description of this miracle product. So much for prior art I guess.

(Car is enveloped in flames. Paint begins to peel off.)
"Uh, Q, won't all paint peel if you apply fire to it?"
"Oh, grow up, 007, this is a breakthrough. I applied the process to my wife's convertible just the other day and we used it to great advantage on holiday."
Uhhh... did you know that prior to this invention criminals can paint their stolen car another color anyway?
"This isn't news. The idea of a peelable paint has been in use by industry for a very long time. "
Yes, I had a car like that once, but they repainted it under warranty.
This would actually be nice for ricers to preserve the retail value of their vehicle. When they sell it, they can just peel the horrendous paintjob off.

Advertising yes! You could advertise Longhorn, and it would be just like the software! Drive it around a while till it starts getting holes all over it then just replace the interface er' coating! Who cares if it looks like crap in a few months... we all knew it would anyways right?
Disclaimer: I work for a company, but I don't speak for them.
That's funny, I can't tell the difference between a hick and a redneck either. They all look the same to me.

All employees must wash hands before seeking equitable relief.
What's the legitimate use of temporary tattoos?! After a robbery or something, you could just wash off the tattoos, and you will no longer fit the description of a guy with fantastic tattoos! These things will never catch on.
As opposed to Johnny Dangerously from say, The Passion of the Christ?

Cheap paint peels like crazy, i'm sure it's almost as good as this james bond paint which costs ten times more, but does the same thing. Just go to the discount section to your local hardware store, and look for paint! Then pour it on your car! But make sure it's cheap paint.... DISGUISE IN A CAN! (lollerskates)
