Their Eclipse paint is a special spray-on basecoat that can change colors from black to white or blue to white. Then additional color coats can be sprayed on over the top of the basecoat to create some super cool effects. Check out this video of the paint in action:

ALSA offers a number of other cool finishes as well including a color-shifting chrome coat among others.
