Toyota Colour Change

Hi All,

What do owners think about this as and when it becomes available in the UK.

Toyota to use new paint removal technology to 'dress up' cars ,More than 100 colors available to make older vehicles look brand new.

KINTO, a Toyota group company based in Nagoya, will provide the new paint replacement service from a palette of more than 100 colors. 

Toyota Motor announced new paint removal technology that will enable the automaker to provide an added service by next year. The technology will make it possible to "dress up" cars. The body can be repainted with one of more than 100 colors chosen by the customer. The new coat also can be stripped off, allowing the original paint job to shine again, Toyota says.

This will allow drivers to change the colors of their cars at will. They will also be able to avoid damaging their cars when stripping off no-longer-wanted paint, thereby maintaining resale value, the automaker said.

The new technology comes as motorists show a growing tendency to own vehicles for longer. Toyota hopes the new technology will help drivers keep beloved cars and not tire of them.

Presume this will be available in Japan rather than Europe, as the article references just the Japanese market.

Hope this does come over here as I am sure many older vehicle owners would welcome a new paint job at a lower cost.
