| Jul 9, 2015 at 7:11 | comment | added | John Rennie | Good question. I must admit that I've used roughened (shot blasted) metal surfaces in the past, and I recall them looking greyer than paper. Though I suspect shot blasting leaves the metal surface rougher than paper i.e. the size of the scattering surfaces is greater. | |
