What a great idea - just looks a like an understated dark grey/black finish

Until a car headlight hits it and it reflects like 3m tape

I'd buy that paint

Mmm, a dark base layer, followed by a spray of microscopic glass spheres in a tinted transparent lacquer over the top for a stealthy look. Spose electrostatically applied, otherwise it'd go everywhere! . Wonder how they keep the spheres from settling out of the paint before it's applied? Vibration? ...

Same way they do with metalic / pearlescent paint. Stir and spray

Ive never seen it in paint form before.
Going back 15 odd years I had a sheet of Scotchlite reflective black that I wraped around some fork legs, I even cut a skull & cross bones for the back of my motorcycle helmet
Forgetting I had it, recently I cut some 4mm strips of black vinyl and stuck them on a scale model I saw my mistake the first time I turned the lights on

If the past projects went so well and they are now rolling in money as they say then why do they need to use kickstart. It's really annoying me how people are using kickstart to fund existing companys and just take the risk out of new products and expansion by palming the cost off on whoever gives money in kickstart.
