Hmmm. The first one is kind of tough... I see what could be a combination of Pearl Copper, Pearl Magenta, and Pearl Gold, with maybe a golden yellow(?) backing to highlight the primarily Gold tone of the car... I could be VERY wrong on the background color. The Pearl Magenta might also be Irredescent Fushia instead.
As for the second, it's hard to see the pearl hue that the car has, but my guess would be either the chameleon Blue or Lilac with a white base. The base MIGHT be silver, but I don't think so. If it were a simply Pearl white, it would be just look like a "metallic" white paint job. It appears that this body has a hue to it, but it's difficult to say which hue.

If I can make a correction, both are done using different types of color changing paint. The first pic was most likely done with either Alclad or Spaz Stix color change paint. The type of paint has hard color shifts and often, many colors changes. When it changes, it looks like all or most of the paint changes from one color to another. The good news is this paint can be had in a spray can now from Spaz Stix.
The second one was most like done with Parma Faschange paint. The Parma Faschange is a soft shift or highlight paint, meaning it doesn't change colors on the whole car, just the light high lights. You spray that on with an airbrush in one light coat, then back it. I am guessing on that one they used a Faschange Red, then backed with silver.

There is a company called Mirage that makes chameleon in a can(3 cans),it can be found at Wal-Mart or auto parts stores such as autozone.
Here is a picture of a trunk lid of my oval car I done with the paint.

The top one can be achieved with one can of Spaz Stix color change paint, well, two actually when you consider you need to back it with black.
The botton one is done with 3 bottles, one Fascolorchange, Silver and a white backer.
