Rust-Oleum 214944 Specialty Reflective Spray, Semi Transparent Clear Finish,10oz

This product works great as long as you realize what you have here. I used it on concrete. You can tell it is on there but just very slightly (it is slightly opaque). Apply 3 thin coats and that's it. Shake often!This product reflects light that from the same angle as you shine the light. For example, it will glow if you are driving a car and your headlights hit the paint. It only reflects the light towards your and not to anyone that is not in the car.

I must have gotten a bad can. Did not work.Sprayed 5 thin layers on mail box numbers. Checked that night. No reflectiveness.Applied 5 more thicker coats the next day. Nothing. Just looks like clear coat.

They claim it's not legal to spray your plate but as long as traffic scams are there I'll do my part to beat them. I sprayed my tags after being forced to pay traffic cam tickets you can't dispute. Stick it to the gov with this spray

Included photo was base coated with Glidden Safety Orange Enamel Paint, Left board was coated with this reflective spray paint, right board had no coating. Looking straight at the board with a flashlight with coating an immediate white shimmer appears, looking at it from the side however no reflectivity could be seen. Coating took away all the gloss orange and left it cloudy matte in appearance. This product would be ideal for mailboxes, parking bollards, fence posts, and haunted houses. Product diversifys greater than a normal spray can it is recommended to have the nozzle 12-18” away from item being sprayed to keep object from clouding up too much, spray gets everywhere if a gust of wind comes up while spraying be sure to cover or remove objects within in 10 feet that you don’t want easily found in the dark. While it was hard to see reflectivity from side with a flashlight it was more easily viewable on infrared security cameras, making this a great product to apply as backdrop to see things walking in front of the paint on camera.

This product does not defend from cameras, find another product if this is the reason you are buying it. It seems to be somewhat effective at night when illumination is fully provided by a camera flash but during daytime, the ambient light is enough to negate the over-illumination effect expected when the camera flash happens. This is definitely 'highly reflective' paint, but definitely not a candidate for anti-snooping.

I have wanted reflecting wheels for my bike, but what few are made are very expensive and my bike takes an odd size wheel. When I ran across the listing I was thrilled, but concerned as to whether the paint would work at all because of so many bad reviews.Well, I generally followed the directions on the can and the result is a very reflective wheel rim.Here is what I did:1) taped off the parts of the wheel where I didn't want paint (obviously). This is a bit of work, but fortunately I was working with the rim only and will build up the wheel later. I used the wheel as a template and cut curves in the blue painters tape so I could mask the machined sidewalks of the rim.2) shook the can very thoroughly. This is very important because this "paint" is a clear coat carrier for super tiny reflective beads. It is these beads that makes your item reflective, if they are not mixed in to the stream you are spraying at your object, it will not end up reflective! (Think unshaken vinegar and oil dressing.)3) shook the can again after every 15 seconds of spraying, according to directions.4) did three very light coats 2 minutes apart. While I was waiting between coats, I kept shaking the can so the reflective beads and the clear coat paint wouldn't separate.After drying, I tested in a dark room and a flashlight and it was definitely reflecting. I noticed that from some parts of the rim (the flats parallel to the ground) were super bright white compared to the rim sidewalls. This can only be from the higher density of beads. This gave me the idea to add more paint. I repeated steps 1-4 after 24 hours. The brightness of the reflectivity increased dramatically. Even the blue painters masking tape is shiny. I may do a third round as an experiment, although my buddy says it looks great already and should stop.I bought another can to do more wheels.

Was no reflective, this was basically clear spray paint. Colorless and not so durable. The head was also one of those skinny tube heads which I hate. And it didn't do the job. Rust-Oleum doesn't use those anymore which makes me think maybe I got a Really old can or something

After traveling across the country with my Texas EZ tag I received numerous traffic violations we’re going through tolls that did not recognize My Texas ez tag. so I read about this reflective paint. I took off my license plate and follow the directions on the can. And on my next road trip I had the exact same results. The Toll road authorities from various states send pictures of my license plate. The flashes cut right through the reflective paint. I’m sure this paint is good for other things. But It absolutely will not prevent cameras from taking pictures of your license plate. Saying all this I want to emphasize that I make every effort to pay tolls as I go through them in other states. But every once in a while, he gets stuck on a toll road that does not have tollbooth. And you get very rude letters from the authorities treating you like a criminal and assessing huge penalties. if you call the authorities after a very long, wait on hold, they generally waive the penalty and let you pay with a credit card. It’s a real pain in the Butt Which is why I bought this paint. But that was a total waste of money and time.
