Camouflage Paint for Gas Tanks Deflects Heat Like Aluminum

Item

Storage tanks for gasoline and other volatile liquids can be made almost invisible, to enemy bombers by a low-visibility paint just announced. Although dark in color this paint reflects heat almost as well as aluminum paint, formerly favored for keeping oil tanks cool but now unsuitable because it makes a brilliant target visible for miles. The new paint can be used for camouflage in green, tan, black or four intermediate shades.
