Reflective clear for signs etc...

Post by Oldsarge »

Discovered this paint at OReilly Auto... Called reflections or something like that. It's basically a clear coat that makes a sign light up like a street sign at night.... Thought I'd share this for those interested.... I'm doing a sign for a customer soon and thought I'd give it a try. Here's a test piece I did in the shop, distance from camera to the plate was about 30' using a flashlight... Headlights would really light it up I think...

Rustoleum has the same thing. I bought some last year. Spray several very light coats....works good.
