"RADAR-INVISIBLE" paint
Is there such a paint that is invisible to radar and laser speed detection devices??
You know, like the stuff on the F-17 Stealth fighter/bomber.
Or does a matt black or grey acheive the same results

I'm guessing there is, as the paint on the US stealth bombers is supposed to not reflect radar, and I guess any matt black would diffuse laser to
some extent, but whether you can find the stuff, or afford it, is another matter.
Trying to do something like this?

Paint alone cannot fool radar. Almost nothing can fool laser.
Stealth vehicle use a combination of low reflect surfaces, shape, passive and active radar jamming devices, flight techniques, geography and their
relationship/orientation to the earths magnetic fields.
Can you do it on a car? No.

The best car for avoiding laser detectors is an early RX7 painted matt black, so I have been informed by a traffic cop. I have the right colour but I
also have a hell of alot more front surface area than an RX7:P

aint no way my flat black defeats a radar.... hmmm 77 in a 60 zone. and funny enough it was after i had taken my speedo out and dropped it off to mike
at VVDS to get it working. i was on my way back to work and 'flash'.
but like 59bus said, maybe it is the surface area!!!
