Just to be clear I have not tested Vanta black. My information came from the PDFs.
Steve, contact the mfg., explain what you want to do. There may be other information, formulations, and uses, that aren't public at this time.

I had a 98 Ram 2500 4x4, the best I ever got was 17 mpg with a 30 mile an hour tailwind.
