  1. That’s racist!
    Need the politicians to police the wording…
    Ya racist bastards.

    1. Its like this site has a super power for injecting race into stories that aren’t about race. Y’all think about race too much.

      1. The left spends its time lecturing everybody on the evils of whiteness, and yet when we make some humorous quips about it, someone inevitably projects the left’s behavior on us.
        The only standards they have are double standards.

      4. I understand that it is now racist to not talk about, think about or acknowledge race. And “white” even when applied to a colour of paint is triggering for the perpetually aggrieved. Where have you been?

      5. When you’re told that something is the root of all evil, one tends to notice it more often.

        It’s like you have a super-power for not understanding basic premises.

    3. One major property of white paint is that it’s reflectivity and emissivity are different at optical and infra-red wavelengths which is why, in Earth orbit, the stagnant temperature of a plate of metal coated both sides with white paint is around 300-350K or about 30-80C, So that is the baseline temperature for an Earth orbiting satellite. Obviously, many other factors are involved.

  3. One might conclude that this super white paint is supreme.

    That would be a great name for this paint …

    “White Supremacy” … For the whitest and brightest and coolest walls in the world.

    2. A paint technician for GM in Oshawa created a red for a car he restored. He mixed it himself and it was very expensive because of all the pigment, but boy was it red.
      He called it “f*** me lipstick”.

  4. The reason the tropics are warm is that black people absorb all the insolation. In the temperate zones, the white people reflect so much that there’s significantly less warming.

  5. It may save a wee bit of money on air conditioning, in some places. The idea that it can eliminate the need for it is ludicrous, and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of basic thermodynamics.
    They might as well of said that it will enable people to levitate; Science says no, but “The Science” can say anything it likes.

    1. Politicians will buy this up and send us out to paint the Canadian Shield of rocks.
      Meeting their UN commitments.

      Hmmm. Just thinking of any colored neighbors that I may have…

      1. Yep. And when the paint job causes a die off of the grey-breasted rock lizard, or the Traditional Native Gorse Bush, they’ll cite it as evidence of “Climate Change” and “Racism.”

    2. My white truck doesn’t have air conditioning, and I like it for that, but I’d consider repainting with this white if it really does keep it a bit cooler. (My green truck doesn’t have air conditioning, either, but I like green, so I’n keeping it green. Not Green, that’s another thing I like about my green truck: extended cab eight foot box four wheel drive three-quarter ton V8 thirty-year old technology.)

      1. Tooner……mines white as well…just just, rolled 600k..n a bit over the weekend.
        17 yr old 6.6L D’max

        J Wests “White Supremacy” Paint might be just the thing….But I’m keepin my AC…

  6. Even if it was 100% effective at reflecting incoming solar radiation, it still cannot violate the laws of thermodynamics. And then there is the wee problem of keeping the paint surface sparkling clean to maintain its effectiveness.

  11. Just wondering how many hours it would take of dust particles that constantly settle out of the atmosphere before a Javex “Whitest White” building becomes merely ordinary Benjamin Moore white? I guess it will make jobs for building washing robots.

    1. They already have, a few years ago. First there was Vanta Black, followed by Musou Black. It has 99.2% light absorption.

  13. We’re painting our place white in the Summer, so as not to need a/c, and black in the Winter to avoid heating costs. Spring and Fall, between extremes, since it’s a big job and won’t be finished in time, it’ll still be half-&-half and provide ideal temperatures.

  17. We just eliminated racism. Next to that paint even blue eyes blond Norwegians in the dead of winter look like People of Color ™.

    And since People of Color can’t be racist, there is no racism.

    Rejoice!

  18. Obvious advertising/fundraising bullshit. All supposed pure white is seen as white differently by different groups of people. In some cases, it’s seen with a bluish tinge; by others – A reddish shade.

  20. . . . that it could eventually reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning,

    And we’ll never be allowed to use it because ‘the reflection blinds pilots or birds or reflects off cloud bottoms and causes more global warming’ or something.

  22. Now wouldn’t the paint’s effect be negated by a layer of dust that always settles down? You have to detail that vehicle even if it has not been driven. Anyway not a big deal cause all that white snow negates the need for air conditioning a good chunk of the year.

  24. Isn’t it ironic… 80% of the worlds barite (barium sulfate) goes into drilling fluid to keep
    abnormal pressure oil and gas from blowing out.
    That and the fact that it takes massive amounts of fossil fuels to refine said barite.
