Why are the dashboards of cars not painted in this or similar colors? I want to have minimum reflections but the temperature is probably the problem.

- nitrogen 5y agoPolarized sunglasses will significantly reduce the visibility of dashboard reflections.
- simpsond 5y agoYes, but if you have a HUD which projects on the windshield, you can no longer see it. Unless you tilt your head. This is a minor annoyance.
- stan_rogers 5y agoNo, it's because most of the "blackest" finishes are extremely delicate, as they rely on a sort of micro-velvet structure to trap light as well as absorbing light. There are relatively sturdy solutions - fabrics, mostly - but they tend to be absolute dust magnets, and look rather ratty in a short time unless kept scrupulously clean. Between the high maintenance and the immediate grunge regardless of maintenance, they don't sell well. (Photographers, on the other hand, love the stuff despite the fact that there's an extra few minutes doing a detailed tidying before every shot.)
