Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat

Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.

The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.

The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car’s body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.

Yeah, I know it’s an NSX. Deal with it.

What is the relevance here?

Again, what does a somewhat overrated 90s Honda have to do with Nissan’s paint options? And what’s with the tacky body kit?

Especially since it was largely a failure in the racing series it competed which at the time was dominated for years by Nissan.

Got in my car after work yesterday and it was 102F inside. It was awful

Lucky! I’ve seen 150 here in Louisiana.

And even higher when I lived in the Mojave desert. Like, if you didn’t leave a window cracked there’s a real chance your windshield cracks.

I live in Pa, so our weather isn’t crazy hot like the south. I can’t imagine the weather where you’ve lived. 85F is my upper limit. Anything over makes me feel like I’m going to die.

I was working outside in 96F and nearly 50% humidity within the past week.

If we continue trying to work outside during the middle of the summer day, as our summers get hotter every year, people are going to start to die.

I wonder how many it will take for America to adjust. I assume a lot more than I’m comfortable with.

I was outside in 96F yesterday herding my ducks for 10 mins and my whole night was ruined because I got so sick from the heat.

Idk how people who work outside constantly do it

Box fans and Popsicles, mostly. You get used to it. Doesn’t make it any more pleasant though. I did give myself some pretty bad heat exhaustion at one point earlier this year, that hasn’t happened before.

Must have had you wishing for a nuclear winter.

There’s no paint on the planet that will make most of their cars cool.

XeroxCool ,

Yeah, the Leaf doesn’t need any help being cool*, they’re as neat as they come

*just don’t mention gen 1 air-cooled battery pack degradation

How big is the difference between black and silver, metallic and non-metallic paint?

It’s surprisingly low. A German institute conducted a few experiments and the most extreme discrepancy was 1.5 degrees Celsius or something.

up to 12 degrees cooler

okay but why? What tangible difference is that going to make?

Also is this on the interior or exterior?

Donut ,

12 degrees on roof, 5 on car seat. It’s in the article

Never heard of Asahi.com and not about to click on it. But thanks for getting that information.

I’m sure those 28% loans will just tack on another 6k in paint. NBD.
