Actually, radar absorbent coatings (which I presume is what we're talking about here) are available commercially. Ever seen one of those crisper trays for frozen food that's supposed to get cooked in the microwave? That's actually RAM (radio/radar absorbent material) that captures the microwave RF energy in the oven and converts it to heat to brown whatever's sitting on it.

Here's a good article on the general technology...

flat black is so 3 years ago.....

tie dye is the hot **** now but keep that on the DL.....

Paint
 

The military uses a special paint called CARC. It is supposed to be resistant in a NBC environment (Nuclear,Biological and Chemical). I was in the Marines for 24 years and have personally used it. All you have to do is prep the body (remove any wax, grease, oil,etc) you can buy this stuff anyware Autozone, pep boys, etc. If you are going to paint the car primer black, I would use nothing more than a 400 grit wet or dry paper. Anything finer the primer will be proned to chipping and flaking. I like to use a 280 or 320 grit and by wet sanding. Wet sanding helps also to remove dirt and grime while using water to flush it away. A spary can will work but a primer gun will work better. It will be move uniform and not proned to runs and mis-matching of the primer. 1000 grit is used in color sanding. The primer has to have something to hold onto. You just want to sand the body well, but don't over-do it. Just make sure all areas are scratched up. You will be able to see your work once the panels dry. Good luck.

240sx and towing hitch should never be together in the same sentance (except for that one).

Wow, I kind of like that.... I can see that cruising Iraq with m4's blazing out each window...

i think flat black is the best camo for black tar pavement dont u think?
o and as for the anti radar thingy, the actual paint formula that the us millitary uses was not releases althought othe rpeople might "claim" to have thier own formula

Go with satin black. Its not gloss, but it doesnt have that "ive still got OEM paint and have never waxed my car so the clearcoat rotted away and now its all oxidized and ugly as your wife" look to it.
