Dectek April 14th, 2003, 02:29 AM Talk to somebody in the Roads department of your township or the state DOT. The new stuff they use for the lines wears like steel and has a high count of reflective particles. jbrook May 15th, 2003, 11:45 AM I have used reflective tape available from automotive supplies. It works well on slick/smooth surfaces that do not flex. It has done well on the ribs on my fins for example, not as well on the webs. Also is just so so on brush or mat finish surfaces. There is a company in Japan that sells reflective paint in several colors but I have not figured out how to order from them. Some say that the paint is not nearly as reflective as tape! As a newby, I wish more people would "customize" their gear not just for visibility, but it makes it easier to tell who is who under water. That can be difficult if many people have similar fins or suits. julian wv-buddrinker May 15th, 2003, 02:44 PM Thanks for the reply jbrook I have seen the site for the reflective paint in Japan I cant figure out how to order neither lol. I have found some reflective paint in cans and spray form. Thanks again for your help. WV-Buddrinker SquintyPete May 15th, 2003, 02:45 PM Wouldn't a fluorescent acrylic enamel work? Such as a fluorescent model car paint? I know enamel is strong and acrylic causes the paint to have a stronger bond to the item it is on... Maybe an oil based instead of acrylic? wv-buddrinker May 15th, 2003, 04:14 PM Hello, Yeah it may but I was looking for reflective.
