Looks pretty cool. You can turn any surface into a reflective surface with this can of paint.  |

not sure what reflective paint would do for the bicyclist at :39 who rear ended a stopped car  Yeah, people will still cut bikers off and stop short even when they know they're there, just like they do to other cars. But it's pretty cool, I'd buy a can of that stuff. |

There are two different types, one for fabrics and another for hard surfaces. skip to the end to see the actual test |

ETA: That guy is an idiot. He doesn't know how to paint or shoot video. His test and video is a giant fail. |

A cat isn't a hard surface, so I'd say yes. Or you could experiment and do one side of the cat in fabric paint and the other side in hard surface paint and observe your results. |

That was my thought as well. I'm sure it glows like a motherfucker like glint tape, and how bad does it bloom an IR laser? Quoted:

The guys in the NV forum might be interested in this... That was my thought as well. I'm sure it glows like a motherfucker like glint tape, and how bad does it bloom an IR laser? Range markers for trees and rocks that are invisible in daylight. Could be good for a farm field where guys are hog hunting. You could even use it defensively, anyone running IR lasers, or NIR flashlights to aid their NVD's could get unexpectedly blinded by things or surfaces you wouldn't think were reflective. |

If it's non-toxic... I wonder if you could feed it to the dog? Dog-log hunting in the yard would never be easier. Especially now around fall when it's dark early, and all the various brown leaves on the grass provide lots of camouflage. Just go out with a flashlight and the scooper. |

Could this be somehow applied to work against speed cameras, etc??
If you sprayed it on a clear plate cover, wouldn't headlights "white out" your plates at night....making you likely to get pulled over, etc? How could this be overcome?? ETA: Im thinking just painting your plate letters, as well as maybe adding random "polka dots" of this paint...allowing it to be read by human cop eyes, but over exposed to the money grubbing camera lens? |

How expensive is this? It might be cheaper to get a lapdance from a glitter stripper. Apparently it is $30. Guess a quick trip to see Cynamon it is. They're giving it away for free, if you happen to be in England.

Huh, almost all those bikers riding at night were wearing mostly dark clothes.......... Imagine that.
Moran bikers around here don't even usually have reflectors, much less lights on their bikes when riding after dark. I lost all sympathy for most of them after I almost hit some dork a few years ago riding against traffic, on a pitch black rainy night, wearing black clothes, on asphalt, with no reflectors or lights on his black bike. Darwin DESERVES losers like that. |

You can do that now with glitter. |

Probably easier and more effective to get an IR led light plate holder. Plate still visible to the naked eye too. |

In all seriousness, it's time for more countries to start enforcing comprehensive road-biker reforms so we can get these folks off the streets and into
mental hospitals where they can be treated for their sadistic desire to reduce 45mph two-way roads into a 10mph snail crawl. |
