James Bond Peelable Automobile Paint

Posted by michael on from the color-du-jour dept.

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."

    "This is a new feature I'm particularly proud of, 007. Now pay attention. This paint is peelable. Watch this demonstration while I strafe your car with a flamethrower."

    (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."
