When I lived in CA, one of my neighbors was a military aviation mechanic at the local airbase. One day he got his hands on the special paint they used on some of the planes which was suppose to absorb radar. He painted his car with it thinking he would not get caught speeding. Problem was there are other surfaces like the windshield which also can bounce back radar so he got caught speeding. Not sure if the paint actually did anything or was the real stuff since someone at the base could have just lied to him but he was not happy about especially when I told him any unpainted surface could bounce back the waves.
