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.
