There was a Flip-flop paint that came out in the early 70's. It had micro prism flakes that would take on different hues of red, purple and blue depending on the angle it was viewed. Not real apparent in bright sunlight but at night, cruising the boulevard, passing under the street lights it was stunning!
I remember, as a teenager observing a Willis rumble by while hanging on the strip in Daytona beach. That was my first time seeing a flip -flop paint job. It took our breath away! We went home and sprayed my buddie's 67 Chevelle in his daddy's garage. The job was inexperienced and crude but it was the envy of the local hotrod crowd.
Thanks for a stroll down memory lane
