I miss this guy

[@youssefbenkraiem2685]

Who doesn't

[@Oshaneeee]

Go to the roadshow channel to see more of him

[@angelarviso8878]

I only clicked because I seen Mr Brian "too cool" in the thumbnail. Am I the only one lol?

[@alphacause]

Just make all your siding on your house mirrors, reflection 100 % of the light. Then your house will be cool and the neighbor s adjacent to your house and next to you will be scorching hot. LOL!

[@sgirn10]

God damn. You sound like a stupid ass I want to hang out with and have a few drinks

[@Cody-cs9hj]

White paint reflects about the same amount of light as a mirror, but the light is scattered in all directions with the paint. So you don’t get to see a reflected image.

[@Санчес-я1т]

What white paint with maximum light reflection do you recommend for painting walls? Because paint White 2.0 is expensive for walls. I want to paint my plant growing room under LED light.

[@mauricemaurice123]

Why doesn’t he review cars anymore?

[@dcpc08161992]

I know.... sad. I just like to see him say "Ugly included".

[@superpcstation]

He does. Check out the roadshow channel

[@raulhdeza]

It's super hot inside my house. I was asking myself if light paint could make a difference. Thanks for answering!

[@MrRyan-fd9rd]

I just went from dark brick red to a slight blueish tint white color, and it dropped my house temp 10/15 degrees so far.

[@leonardodtc1493]

Yeah it definitely works, I went from a Prussian blue to white and overall temperatures are so much nicer so much so that so far Im surviving winter with just a fan and thriving.

[@edmackdaddy]

Cooley is now the CNET handyman.

[@2nixPH]

OMG it's Brian

[@GXKid06]

Does cnet not read the comments about Cooley? We miss him, we want him back full time.

[@Heemshotem]

CNET we need Brian on more videos!!

[@anthonysolis4163]

BRIAN!!!! WE NEED MORE TOP 5's FROM YOU!!!!!!!

[@colliscampbell816]

Is that Kip Kay?

[@chicagogreekguy]

Brian is SUCH a GENIUS...news flash...ultraviolet light does NOT transmit heat. INFRARED HEAT (the other side of the spectrum) does...by radiative conversion of light into heat.

[@zunedog31]

Seiko SKX on a Bond NATO strap! Cooley gets cooler every video.

[@Excalibur_86]

zunedog31 skx007?

[@zunedog31]

@@Excalibur_86 Yup

[@MRCHAMP310]

I took an oil refinery class, and I believe I saw you on the video. Had to be you Brian from back in the day. Lmk CNET 👍🏽

[@LBCAndrew]

These white coatings are most effective when applied to flat roof surfaces like garage roofs. Look at a satellite image of Phoenix Arizona and you'll see every single flat commercial roof, as well as flat garage roofs of residences are ALL painted white.

[@surronzak8154]

I know a guy who made DIY cooling paint where the painted surface is 2 degrees Celius cooler than AIR TEMP

[@sorrymrgoogle2601]

What about winter? Must the "rejected" heat then be replaced with conduction/heat pump/thermal pump/gas?

[@sickjohnson]

Don't those heat reading guns fan out the further they are away from the object you are trying to read the temperature and average it? For example if you were 12" from the board, the temperature sample would be 10" round...so what I am saying hold the gun a lot closer to get a more accurate measurement of what you specifically want instead of an sum of partially the other boards but mostly the one you exclusively wanted?

[@YashSagar0]

I always love his voice and accent

[@ismadd1990]

perfect demonstration!

[@Haider10able]

I remember when he used to review smartphones in 2012! I miss him

[@joshakaoger69]

Window film is amazing now too does I have to be dark anymore 👌

[@htiguy1]

Brian you should go back to reviewing cars.

[@TheLookingOne]

Hey CNET, Does the paint additive rely on glass beads? How difficult is properly mixing the additive?

[@madmarvdesigns]

Glad to see real experiments for once...so normal White paint works the same as those heat blocking White paints? I suspected so but good to know

[@Санчес-я1т]

What white paint with maximum light reflection do you recommend for painting walls? I want to paint my plant growing room under LED light.

[@pwu8194]

That's right. Some people don't like white, especially the aesthetics sensitive Rio Grande Valley. They want style even if it breaks their banks.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Wheres this paint? Lowes? Home Depot?

[@IDKOKIDK]

White only reflects light, you want an additive in paint that reflects infra red light which is about 1/2 the energy of sunlight. I don't know why that guy is talking about UV light

[@dcpc08161992]

How about mix the high tech UV blocker in grey or biscuit color?

[@QwertySkill]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY

[@charlez95]

Is that kipkay?

[@Ou8y2k2]

Your summer house: Where's Cooley? Me: Aaarrrghh!!!

[@aaronjennings8385]

This is faulty. The heat comes from uv. Not a heat gun.

[@user-uj2mp3ee9v]

The globglobgabgalab strikes

[@patrick594]

Because it's not to be tested with a heat gun, but the sun, which heats through light, not electricity

[@NathanDreamsBig]

try ceramic paint's.

[@narothbo4773]

What? U come back cnet?

[@jacky_mo]

White for inside, since it needs more maintenance outside

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Wtf? Only in California would what everyone else knows would be a "discovery" worthy of a video. I look forward to hearing how black paint absorbs heat!!!

[@ihsana5210]

I'll go with white

[@user-cl3gz9ey1w]

On concert please Aluminum Car I know

[@trinisuprazee]

we miss the roadshow!!!!!!!!

[@PulpComic]

Cooley!!!

[@danfu1299]

its UV PAINT, not infrared

[@buzzman4860]

What dramatic difference? Did I miss something or are you click baiting?

[@dco956]

If ur roof is not white...I doubt it helps much n texas

[@m.s.1753]

All these paints are a scan therefore.

[@Derpherppington]

Last time I remember picking up a cnet magazine was about computer softwares and hardwares reviews. Apparently cnet now is doing everything including women obgyn

[@_Chev_Chelios]

Cooley figured out that dark colors absorb more heat! Someone is going to get a Nobel prize!

[@uhf001]

this really didn't show much of anything other than what most first graders use to know...

[@bassedi]

Wtf does CNET has Cooley doing where are the cars ...........

[@Erich2142]

So he went from reviewing cars to reviewing paint.....Jesus!

[@AbdielSalas]

So what?

[@RBzee112]

Good way to get CNET to pay for a new paint job.

[@kimberleypex]

SUPER ⬜️⬜️⬜️🆒

[@wshfullthnker]

Feel like I got Punk'd. Watch a video of paint dry cause it had Cooley in it.

[@vandriff]

YES! Reflect that heat back into the atmosphere and make the world even warmer~! BRILLIANT!

[@QH96]

It gets reflected off into space.

[@abstractgaming8341]

I think they got too desperate for views...

[@alexpin2426]

How is this video desperate? Just because it's an informative video about a more "random" topic than usual?

[@Cactus36]

1st

[@wzup77ify]

I see Brian I clicked simple
