Hi.

Is it possible to have reflective paint?
I'm only familiar with road markings being applied retroactively, meaning something is added later.
Vehicles are shown only as silhouettes.

If you want to completely cover a trailer with a reflective strip, you will need many pieces if you are using a film material.

Everything is just theory, because I still don't have either a trailer hitch or a tow hitch icon_wink.gif.

Thank you.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Hi Martin, the reflective film is available on rolls, for example from 3M.
I can't imagine it being used as a coating; I think it would only work as a fluorescent substance.

3M or BASF can help!

However, the film is likely to be cheaper. It is also available as a roll of material.
Looking for edge (or contour) marking.
