You need to see it in the flesh to get the full effect.

Do they use Mica in the paint? I wonder what it would look like at night - if it is reflective it could look quite something in the dark!

I remember back in the 90s days of Max Power seeing a car that had been painted with flourescent paint used on aircraft to guide passengers to the exits - it must have been quite something, and illegal I expect!

Don't think so, my son mixed fine multi-coloured Holographic metal-flake particles into a binding lacquer, sprayed it over a
solid black base which was followed by 2 lacquer coats then flattened with 1000grit abrasive and finally 2 more
coats of lacquer were applied.

He done a 3 stage mopping on the nose-cone to get the glass-like final finish.

I'm very pleased with the result! (it cost the Insurance Company the best part of £600 just for spraying!!) :o
