Car model Hot Wheels Color Shifters assortment, metal and plastic, assorted colours, age 3–99

Hot Wheels Color Shifters assortment offers metal-and-plastic miniature cars with colour-changing finishes designed for ages 3–99. Each vehicle combines a die-cast body with plastic details and a thermo-reactive paint layer that changes hue when exposed to warm or cold water. These collectible-scale cars are suitable for play on tracks, tabletop display, and imaginative racing activities, with vivid graphics and multi-stage colour effects on some models.

Advantages

The cars feature durable die-cast construction and plastic components engineered for repeated play and handling. The colour-shifting paint responds reliably to temperature changes, allowing children to alternate between colours quickly and repeatedly. Assorted colours and unique decorations make each vehicle visually distinct, supporting collection variety and easy identification during play.

• Imaginative play and role-playing scenarios

How to use

To change the car's colour, immerse the vehicle briefly in warm water until the new colour appears; to revert, place the car in cold or icy water. Allow the car to dry between colour changes and avoid prolonged soaking to preserve paint and decals. Use on Hot Wheels-compatible tracks and smooth surfaces for racing; handle the vehicle by its body to minimise wear on paint and small parts.

Usage recommendations

Supervise young children during water-based colour changes. Dry the car thoroughly after each colour-change cycle and store in a cool, dry place to maintain the thermo-reactive finish and mechanical integrity. For track use, inspect wheel axles periodically to ensure smooth rolling and remove any debris.
