SPECIAL EDITION BLACK 4.0
50ml High-Grade Black Acrylic Paint, Special Edition
Black 4.0. None More Black.
We've made the world's most famous super black paint even blacker. Blacker than the gothiest goth's heart. Blacker than before. The most light-absorbing, flat-laying, durable version yet.
"The person who said 'I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour' is now officially naked."
The story
British artist Stuart Semple pioneered a new kind of acrylic paint technology. Using state-of-the-art acrylic binders, mattifiers and his black magick pigment, he made a super black paint capable of absorbing 99.8% of visible light. After a successful crowdfunding campaign and the support of the art community, it was finally made available to all (except that one guy).
Ever since, the lab has been tweaking and testing. In mid 2023, after several years of work, a whole new formulation arrived, capable of trapping more light, laying flatter, covering better and being more robust than ever.
How to use it
It sticks to almost anything, though porous surfaces should be sealed first with PVA glue or a layer of Black 2.0. Two coats works best, with a couple of hours drying time between them. As with any high quality paint, less is more: the thinner you spread it, the better the finish. It also works in an airbrush when thinned with water.
How much more black could it be? None. None more black.
Handmade by artists in England.
