“Whitest ever” paint to reflect heat. (1 Viewer)

Could this be the answer to motorhomers prayers?
A newly devised paint is said to reflect 98% of sunlight.
Whilst it might not be a total answer to heat build up in the MoHo as we visit sunny climes, it could prove useful.

Won’t work in Wales

Jesus looked across the table & asked : “So where have you been the last few months”?

God replied : “ I’ve been all around Wales”.

Jesus was shocked. “ There’s been a pandemic for a year & you've been in Wales”? “What were you doing there”?

God smiled & quietly said : “ Working from home son, working from home “!

It only reflects sunlight, I doubt winter sun generates a lot of heat unless in somewhere really warm. Most rely on gas to heat their MoHo’s in winter.

How about using infra red reflecting paint.

An alternative report about the same paint:

Whitest paint ever reflects 98 per cent of light and could cool homes

An ultra-reflective white paint absorbs so little sunlight that it becomes cooler than its surroundings, so it could replace energy-intensive air conditioners to cool buildings
