I know mirror paint is fragile but I was just thinking about trying it to get a mirror finish inside the top of a blade, like a hollow blade for base lit normally has.
Tamiya is giving it a shot. New paint.
Looks pretty impressive.
Baselit blades use the mirror to make the blade illumination more even, but it makes the tip itself darker. For LED strips, I don’t see a need for a mirror?
Correct for almost every situation. Some non-saber setups get a dull edge, when there’s something on the end of the blade that’s not a tip. My use case is the nunchaku I’ve been working on, at the chain joining end. There’s a bit of shadowing so I intended to mirror the inside of the cap for a boost.
I wonder if this paint is conductive, now that I think about it.
