Wonder if you could paint the front haft with the same paint as the stealth bomber and where would get the paint??.Then no radar so................

here's a better idea. just paint it camouflage so you can't be seen.

Its not "Paint". Its a thick iron rich material with the consistency of plaster or spackle. It weighs a ton.

and the radar issue has a lot to do with the design of the vehicle as well, its not just the
"paint"

so what happens if you are shot in the back? with the radar i mean...

1gary

Your kidding me right??.Posting a answer like that back to me??.Get over yourself.You don't mean squat to me.

ol' paddy

damn, chill man, this is a really stupid question...i hope you're joking.

What did he say to offend you?

Y.G.B.S.M means You Gotta Be S..ting Me.

He answered your question. The composition of the paint is indeed top secret, and extremely expensive. So expensive, in fact that you can't afford it. How do I know you can't afford it? because you are worried about 110.00 speeding ticket.

As others have said, the stealth nature of the aircraft actually owes more to the shape of the airframe than the paint. The Coating, not paint, absorbs some of the radar energy, while the shape deflects most of the remainder of the energy away from the emitting source. The result is the emitter does not get much return. So, You can get rid of all flat surfaces from your third gen, that would do more.

Stealth will do nothing for you when they use laser anyway.

BTW, I am a former USAF corrosion control guy, You know, Aircraft Painter.

Now THAT is a civil answer.Thank You.

i'm not sure what your response means . 1. the paint "IS" Top Secret. 2. the Y.G.B.S.M. meaning is "you can't be serious". 3. i did not mean to offend/insult you or anyone else . if you are offended i'm sorry , i did not intend to . 4. if you accept my post for how it was meant fine , if not , oh well . 5. "I REFUSE TO HAVE A BATTLE OF WITS WITH AN UN-ARMED PERSON" . good luck .

P.S. thanks to ol'paddy & lc1driver .

Paint your car matt black, and conceal or remove reflective surfaces from the front of the car. That will decrease the strength of a laser return in the case of Laser. There have been tests that prove it too. The only fool proof method is a laser Jammer, and those are illegal. What is allowed, is up to the state. But I wouldn't be going and doing anything illegal to block it or the fines against you will make the speeding ticket look paltry.

Headlights, chrome, front license plates, turn signal markers all are very reflective. Just look at how well a license plate returns a laser beam from a pen laser. Same for light enclosures. They are designed to redirect light output forward of the car. All of that makes a car's return signal from a laser speed gun much more visible.

For radar reflection there is little you can do without adding weight, or changing the car so much that it wont' look like a thirdgen any longer. The big, flat slab front ends of thirdgens means that its pretty much a guaranteed radar return.

Radar Absorbent Material (RAM)= Known Carcinogen!

1gary

The first three things you said you started it right and the the last two.........showed your true self.

So here is two for ya:

1) A vet like you at your age hanging out in a street race section??.Yepper arrested development.
2)A user name like "uncle tom".....................that can be and is interpreted in many different ways.

Not my first rodeo.Un-armed.................nawwww.

paint your car flat/matte black
install a kill switch for the rear lights
install a radar system
install a laser/radar jammer
install a millitary grade thermal imaging( night vison)

and then just dont speed use your jugement

paul_huryk

The only thing crazy is asking where to get stealth bomber paint...

Your car has to absorb the radar energy and no reflect it back to the sender to show a mph figure - actually quite simple. And as others have mentioned the shape of a vehicle and also the material (or material covering it) gives a reflection (or not). Most of the military stealth systems use iron ball paint, which converts the energy to heat and lowers the radar cross section. The stealth shape removes the remainder of the radar signature.

But police radar is not nearly as sensitive and the right covering will probably give you radar invisibility. I remember reading in the 90's about some engineer who ran his Corvette in the Silver State race who made his own stealth paint that allowed him not to be picked up on radar for his speed during the race. I remeber the car looked stock otherwise - need to find the article...

Kewl Paul.If you could find that it would be interesting Bud.

YGBSM, what is wrong w/ that response? You should at least thank a veteran instead of tellin him you ain't squat. That ain't right. Man what has happened to this site???

1gary

Yes-what happened to this site??.A post that only means something to him only??.Look before you post next a American flag and break out in hail to the chief,there are a number of members on this site that really know what's up and how to act.But Vet or not there are some that are just plain out Ba$$es.

He knew what was wrong with his post when he started to post he was sorry that was misunderstood,but then even screwed that post up in the end.From the beginning he could have explained it better.

I have 0 tolerance for people who can't be civil.So again-he ant squat and to use his status as a vet is B.S.

This whole thread needs a do over.

agree 100%.

some people need to take understanding/having a sense of humor class

J91

Have to agree 100%....Yeah we could start with spelling Stealth properly! Then figure out why someone would even think that classified materials would even be available to the public, common sense, plain and simple....

1gary

Meet me at Burger King at long Pond and Ridgeway Ave and I will explain it in person..........................

midias

What is wrong with you you take everything as a personal attack everywhere in life? Yea you are very civil

Besides why would I want to meet you at your after school job, unless i was in the mood to try their new fries.

fries for the win

midias

Fries are awesome but usually I like them under a couple of hamburgers in garbage plate form. Although the commercials for the new BK fries do make me want to eat them.

1gary

After school job??. Naw-I don't work there.Heck I am going to 65 and are semi-retired.We probably bumped into each other at a car show or cruise night and didn't know it.

midias

Probably you ever hit up the log cabin?

I used to go to Sullivan's on the lake until the town cracked down for a music permit he wouldn't pay for.Went to the show in Spencerport.

This place really has changed...for the worse. I've been around here for quite awhile and it amazes me how people react. Thought the answer was pretty much on par with the question.

I hope I am not going to be misunderstood.

Gary, you are a dick.

1gary

Doug................you do mean I am a dick eh.

Man you great white northerner's hang out and end up forgetting where ya from.

Doug Phillips

I have no clue what that means. Is it some sort of code?

1gary

Man,what kind of Canadian are you eh??.

You do know with your first comments I am crushed,will not be able to sleep for a week,pacing now,drinking pots of coffee at one time,and have a impulse to buy and throw out bandanas.Soooooooooo I hope your happy now.

Now my hands started to shake,I'm plucking out all my eye brows,ouch,ouch,make it stop,make it stop!!.

I challenge you come spring time at Cayuga to a backwards drag race.We both back onto the lights and race in reverse.
