Finally got hit with "instant on" laser today....luckily I was only doing 42ish in a 40 mph zone.....the motorcycle cop motioned me to slow down.
My V-1 gave me an alert as soon as I was hit...but the unit was like 30 yards in front of me. I hit the brakes, no dive due to my stiff suspension but I would have been toast if I was doing 5-10 mph more. There was no "scatter" from previous hits to give me any warning. It did go off again with the arrow pointing behind me when he beamed someone else..... |

Yessir,
Lusterless green paint, that's the ticket. Army puts it on their equipment to absorb/trap energy from laser spotters. Only have to put an electric blue wash coat on the car, followed by a white coat, followed by a bright yellow coat, followed by a coat of green. Dunno what's in the layers of paint, but I bet it's reeeeely expensive. We would check the (lack of) reflectance with lasers. Ken |
