Hey I always wanted to know this but I don't think anyone has tried to investigate a little further. Do you think it could be possible to make a balloon off of the lightest metal and make it float with the lightest gas (which would be hydrogen). ChatGPT kinda says it's possible, but who on Earth would try that, right?

The Frasnel effect could be another reason that could be causing some extra light reflection at certain angles. It can happen on any object or surface. Basically the larger the angle that light bounces off of an object, the more is reflected. This is why water appears less reflective when looking straight down at it vs a more parallel viewing angle.

So I have to wonder if Musso Black is better. Can you do a small sample that would show each with a buckle or fold such that, when the light hits it, we can see if the buckle or fold shows. Kind of like we can see with the fabric on the car where we can at times see where the fabric was a bit buckled. Seeing something with Musso Black VS the Musso Black Fabric would be interesting. It would help show which is actually better.

If it has to be shipped with the roll layers separated to avoid damaging the effect, how long would it last if you kept the wrap on your daily-driver?
Just don't park it in a black hole lol. Interesting video as usual!
Now this is why I love this channel! So much creativity!
The cops will be too confused to pull him over for not having a license plate.
That shot at 4:40 was incredibly helpful. This sort of material would be very ideal for telescope and astronomy applications where light absorption to stop reflections is really important. Telescopes tubes are lined and coated with anti reflective paint and flocking. Off axis light is a real problem and a material light this would be help, but it seems it would actually potentially cause more issues!
3:18 - The bonnet looks much lighter than the side & you can see the bumps in the material.
Around 4:00 I guess you are starting to see the moisture in the air, captured by the fabric. So the reflection you starting to see, is not the car, but the moisture on the car.
Riding it at night with Lights Off will teleport you to the Afterworld.
It has some Fresnel reflectivity in high exposure (when it's pulling out of the garage and explained at 4:40) but it mostly looks like a missing or bugged material.
that's too risky it might get shot by the cops

The fabric is actually rather absorbent - all the fine fibers trap water pretty well. When wet, it still looks black, but not _as_ black, since the wetness itself is reflective. (Exception: if you're holding the fabric up to a light source right behind it, the wet part will be the darkest, since it's the only part one can't see through the weave.) Getting it wet gives it quite the curl and I really don't recommend trying it beyond a tiny scrap piece. (Speaking from personal experience here.)

Heat is from Infrared radiation. I’d have to go look and see what this fabric absorbs, but The Balckest Market (the manufacturer) makes a distinction between their earlier version of the fabric. I bought the VL flock sheet which he mentions earlier, and it absorbs visible light. But then they also have the IR flock sheet which is designed to also absorb infrared. It’s very possible that this fabric in the video absorbs no more infrared than other normal black paint. So if that’s the case, it wouldn’t heat up any more than any other black car. It’d be neat to see him use an IR camera in the videos.
Cruising around like a boss
Relatively high reflectivity in night shots may also be due to dust collecting on surface and reflecting light.
