      Amazing!  

      Glad to see car companies still trying to be innovative. 

      Honda was an engineering powerhouse in the early 90's and now the only thing they brag about in their advertisements is their bluetooth stereo with Pandora.

        It appears that Nissan just sprayed it on their car, some other company developed it, I wonder how expensive it is?  Looks to be sprayed with an hvlp gun like paint.

          I have seen that stuff a lot lately. It is referred to as nano coating by some. There are a few dealers that offer to spray it on your car for an extra cost when you are buying new. My uncle just bought a new Forester and took the option. It was pretty pricey IIRC.
