Question about unusual automotive paint?

I thought I read about this a few years back but now I'm not so sure, maybe I dreamt it or misunderstood something. I read there was a new type of automotive paint that was going to be available where a car would be a different colour depending on what direction it was viewed from. IE the car would be one colour if seen from the front but another if seen from the side. If this is real, what's it called and/or where can I found out more about it on line?

Update:

Thanks for the great answers, that's what I wanted to know.

    Almost every paint manufacturer has a color changing paint. Du Pont has Chomilusion, BASF has it, Spiez Hecker, House of Kolor, Alsa Corp. has one that changes with heat. But as the others said, its very expensive and hard to repair if anything happens to it.

    It's incredible stuff. Any autobody parts store would have it NAPA, Carquest. But you're gonna have to dig deep. It's $800-$1000 PER QUART.
