Almost impossible to answer this question with absolute certainty, as every situation is different from the next and every customer has different expectations and needs. In many cases the paint may not be suitable, however the powder-coat method might be!
Contact us to discuss your requirements of reflective leather paint. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.
The retro-reflective properties of this paint are determined by such factors as; surface-type, height, relative- viewing-angle-to-light-source, distance from light source, light source strength etc.
The only way to know for sure is to try it and see. To this end we have small 30ml and 60ml trial-size sample pots available to buy on this web site, and we strongly recommend you try a sample first.
Please note: Due to the simple nature of this coating, it can never equal the performance of manufactured reflective materials, such as those used on safety jackets and multi-layered reflective traffic signs, but its still good, and as close as youll get in liquid form! (particularly Ultra Reflective).

Reflective coatings work better when reflecting from a distance rather than close up. In much the same way as a distant road sign reflects when driving towards it at night.
Under normal light conditions the coating should be clear and unobtrusive, so to see the reflective effect yourself, try using your smartphone! Take a FLASH photo of the reflective surface from at least 3m (10 feet) away. You should see the retro-reflective effective in the photo though the end-result will depend on light / flash strength and distance etc, but you get the idea.
