Remember Nissan’s “self-cleaning” Leaf? The Japanese automaker thought it could present the self-cleaning nano-paint technology in a funny way so it has released an online video showcasing the paint’s qualities.

The first video is part of a social media campaign that will include more online videos which will make the technology known to people. Created to demonstrate its potential use in future production vehicles, the self-cleaning Nissan Leaf features the Ultra-Ever Dry paint that repels almost any liquid that may come its way, even paint!

Called “The Nissan Paint Prank,” the first video features a crew of painters “accidentally” spilling buckets of paint on the Nissan Leaf, much to the shock of unsuspecting bystanders. If the liquid in the buckets is real paint, I have to say Nissan’s self-cleaning technology is really impressive.

Nissan says there are currently no plans for the unique paint coating technology to be applied to its vehicles as standard equipment. However, the company is considering the technology as a future aftermarket option.

Watch the prank in the clip after the break.
