Lightning Brand Reflective Paint

First. For those that mentioned that it is not reflective, Shake it up and apply in light coating. Also< this product as described is based on angle of view and light. I recently used this as part of a design on the back of my leather motorcycle jacket . It is DEFINITELY reflective. The trick is to shake it up well, use in light coats, and allow for drying time in between coats. It is pretty translucent. However, that changes with each coat. It can feel pretty gritty. I think it is the reflective beads. I tried to show the jacket but Amazon flagged the image as symbolic or something. Over all pretty happy with the product. Will attempt to use on other fabrics and art projects.

I was quite skeptical about this product. My house numbers are on concrete placed within the brick of my home and they were difficult to see at night. I wanted something that you would not see in the daytime yet glow at night if hit with a light. This is precisely what this product did. I taped off the border and applied one coat and checked that night and you could see brush strokes so I really saturated the surface again and the repainted my numbers in black. WOW those numbers just pop at night just what you want in an emergency situation or for all those night time Amazon drops!!

Not reflective. I'm thinking the five star review is a plant. I've seen gloss white that was far more effective than this stuff. Mixed it like crazy, shaken and stirred, and put some on a flat surface and held it up at every angle in front of quite a few light sources. Almost a flat paint. Adhesion is quite poor. Huge fail.

It seems to be extremely sensitive to surface prep and some surfaces are going to require more prep than others. Applied directly to 3D printed plastic letters that have a smooth top surface, I got nearly no reflectivity at all. Applied to cardboard, it reflected very well. I'll be trying out some different surface textures on the 3D parts, I'm sure one will be successful. The seller is doing a good thing by offering this in trial size. It's a specialized product and some trial and error is to be expected. It's also worth noting it is a surprisingly thin, runny paint and applying it through a stencil onto vertical rough concrete, which was my original use for it, had very poor results.

I bought this specifically since one review mentioned that it was semi-transparent. I had some beautiful house numbers for the end of our driveway, but they were a dark metal and I wanted them to be reflective for emergency personnel. When I painted this on, it turned them all white. No transparency at all. It IS very reflective though. Does it's job, but is not transparent at all.

I used this on the spine protector i wear on my motorcycle and i’m pleasantly surprised with the reflection. It took several thin coats of the stuff but it shines bright when you point a flash at it. My understanding of reflective material is road paint they sprinkle little glass beads on top of and tape uses prisms. I wasn’t sure what the mechanism of the paint would be, but it feels gritty so I assume it’s glass beads. In my experience if you get anything on top of road beads it dims the flash significantly but the binder in this paint didn’t do that. Good stuff would buy again.

We used this to pick out the lettering on our street post in our community. Note this not a pigmented paint - it's whitish but translucent. If you wanted say white lettering, you would first apply some regular white paint then, after that's dried & cured, apply a coat of this reflective paint. The letters & numbers on our sign now really pop in headlights. It works exactly as advertised.

You do see the reflection on them at nighttime , but vaguely
