    Default Veil body panels?

    If veil is good at coating surfaces do you think it would work to be used as an ingredient to make body panels or grills etc. What I am talking about would be like mixing it into clear fiberglass type panels or carbon fiber etc. If this would work people could make aftermarket bumper covers and grills with the mounting surfaces for jammers and stuff already integrated into the product.

    I would think it would do more good just layered on top of the existing material. If it gets blended than a lot of it may end up inside the parts and not help absorb any material.

    I'm no expert, but there are plenty of them here who will correct me if need be.

    I think the idea behind veil is to keep the reflected lidar signal weaker than the jammers signal. I feel like almost every jammer can overpower the reflection off painted body panels. Grills might be a different story though. Maybe it would help with punch thrus that are at really really close distances... but it doesn't seem worth the trouble to me. Just spend that money on a really good jammer.

    Maybe I should viel my sunglasses because they have mirrors built into the

    what does Veil do? does it just reduce the reflectivity or does it also absorb the lidar as well?

    I was wondering if someone used that plastic film on the front of the car (the stuff to protect form chips) and veiled that would that make a difference?

    as for blending Veil into body panels it would not work and would be outrageously expensive. the plastic panels get painted and grills get plated or painted.

    maybe it would be possible to add it to paint but then would it still work and would it be compatible with the paint.

    Currently, there's no known way to properly integrate VEIL with such protective films.

    I'd be interested to see what VEIL could do, painted over such extensive surfaces, as suggested by the OP, 2yellowIIs.

    Given the aesthetics achieved by dj's painter:

    .... I can't but help what kind of results might be able to be achieved.

    Most interesting.

    Veil Guy could make a LOT more money if people started Veiling their body panels every few months, that's for sure. Yet he has the integrity to advise people not to do so, as it is a waste of money. That in itself should answer the question.
