UV possibly?


Tres Juicy

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

My car has a rather unique paint job, it's a bright pink and white marble effect (I will try to post a picture at some point) but on sunny days it seems to attract small flies.

 

Could this be due to it reflecting More UV than normal cars?

 

I would appreciate your input.

 

Thanks,

 

Al

They just seem to gather on the roof on sunny days...

 

I had a shirt like that as a child - when worn outside on a sunny day it would attract flying critters like nobody's business. Two of my elder brothers tried to work out why this happened - they decided that it was unusual in reflecting an unseen wavelength of light, my other elder brother said it was because it smelt of dogpoo. I got self-conscious and stopped wearing the shirt inside the house or outside.

Variants of this theory have been proposed by my friends
