The owner of the Jeep Rubicon complained that the air conditioner could not keep up with the heat radiating into the vehicle from the black hardtop. We applied a ceramic sphere infused elastomeric coating to help act as a thermal barrier in addition to providing solar reflectivity.
The results were apparent after the newly coated roof was left in the sun for two hours--the unpainted black pillars were extremely hot to the touch while the white roof remained cool. In the coming days the Jeep Rubicon owner reported that the temperature in the truck was easily controlled and the air-conditioner was working considerably less.
