[quote=""Toni""]Yeti as in, yeti cooler? Won't it heat it up a lot?

Painting a frisbee or football would be interesting. Just an object flying through the air devoid of light :lol: [/quote]

Wonder if he means a Yeti tumbler?

Yes. A yeti tumbler. But I like toni’s idea. Wonder what a baseball would be as it flew through the air but was just a black hole?

Well…everything is in. Just need to know the mix ratio and give a test run first.

Be careful what you paint because you might not find it again.

Videos say it’s just not a durable paint. He even had a second video saying, don’t do it lol.

Spent the last day or so watching and reading everything I could on this paint.

Dilution is 50/50 water and paint.

But it also doesn’t like to be touched. It comes off kind of like a primer.

Also the flake has to be sprayed on with what is basically liquor thinner. So then it evaporates and the flake is suspended but not stuck. Even the guy who did the car was like…don’t do this. It’s pointless. It looks cool but that’s it. Touch it and it’s done.

Sooooo….I don’t quite know what I wanna do. Part of me wants to do a test spot and then cover it in the same stuff I did my CF fenders in. So it can be handled. I get it would add a little shine but maybe not much?

You'd probably want to use some sort of matte finish clearcoat, not a shiny clearcoat.

Just the test yeti.

I learned that the sprayers I got clog up easily. So I had to dip the filtered end in rubbing alcohol a couple times. I also learned that I prob need to let them dry more between coats. We will see what it looks like when it dries.

Go back and watch the video, it has to dry to absorb the light.

I mean. It is blacker….but in direct sunlight you have no problem making out what it is. So while a camera makes it look like this. It wouldn’t in person.
