Has anyone tried Albedo100 reflective spray? While researching for bike gear online, I came across this and figured this would be great for my commutes as it's getting darker as I leave work. I think I recall someone mentioning Volvo Lifepaint before and this might be similar.
It's not cheap, it's about $23-$25 at Lowes and Canadian Tire for 130g, and it comes in 2 versions: permanent for metal, and temporary for textiles. I got the temporary version, so that means I would need to reapply it every once in a while as it washes off.
The end result (large photo):
I probably shouldn't have done this in the kitchen as it does make a mess as you can see here:
But when it dries, it leaves a chalky residue so you can apply the excess back onto your bike gear.
Will see if this spray is worth it for the next few commutes. I might just stick to the traditional reflective vest / bands as that works just as good.
