Hi,

I'm always interested in new priducts and this new paint caught my attention;

How long will it remain Ultra White? Adverts are now becoming a real pain whilst browsing.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

[He who knows]

How long will it remain Ultra White?

And how robust is it?

Even if it doesn't lose reflectivity in an intrinsic way, how well does it withstand the cleaning which would be necessary just to remove the normal dirt which would impair its performance?

The last series of Grand Designs featured a house clad in Corian.

Anyway - if you'd like to see the complete opposite of that paint, here it is:

Hopefully I've skipped all the preliminary stuff and just started where they show the car. Which when outdoors looks like a car-shaped hole in reality.

I've seen the "blackest black" paint before in a museum, and it really was so matte black that it was hard to make out detail.

How long will it remain Ultra White?

Hopefully longer than the tin of Dulex gloss I used about 10 years ago, it lasted about 6 months . Benjamin Moore Scuff-X all the way for me now .
