Shiny restaurations?

What can you recall? Smoky black as you can and diffuse those searchlight beams. Don't forget the carrots of course. What you recall seems to differ from the record. A very shiny and smooth gloss paint called Jet Black was developed for night camouflage. The Jet Black finish was found to be "totally invisible in 80% of all passes made through searchlights." The finish came to be known as "anti-searchlight paint". "Air Force Colors, Volume Two, ETO & MTO 1942-1945" by Dana Bell, page 47. You'd probably do it much more different of course. Of course.
