The adventure continues. There is a live stream from Nighthawkinlight on a further development of the cooling paint.

New sky cooling paint recipe (Patreon livestream no 4)

It's unwatchable in parts (audio,etc.) but starting at t = 42:23 you get the pertinent info. It's over after 1:10.

Anyways, the improvement is using PLA plastic with ethyl acetate, water and alcohol; with no added pigments. Maybe not as effective as the previous recipe, but from more benign materials and it's sprayable.

I checked proto-pasta.com/ and they have a clear PLA as well as matte white.

It's not abrasion resistant, so not ready for prime time.
