Brillliant idea! I reckon it'd want to turn red over a certain speed though, it being the faster colour?

Yellow to red when Hot, probably possible with some sort of temperature sensitive paint, you can by drinking mugs where the logo/design changes with a hot drink in it.

Ducati's can already turn black ink to red on bank statements!!
