What is Black 3.0?

Black 3.0 is a super special acrylic paint. We have spent nearly 2 years tweaking its formulation to create a black that absorbs 98-99% of visible light! Quite simply we've created the blackest black acrylic paint.

Black 3.0 paint is frustrating, to say the least. It clumps, creating horrible surface texture. It flakes. It is decidedly not durable. I’ve sanded it off and reapplied a few times using different concentrations to no avail. It’s very black paint but when my US Art supply black gesso out performs the the black 3.0 in every category other than the level of light absorption, my only conclusion is Black 3.0 is expensive paint that is of poor quality. Musou Black has some of the same durability issues as Black 3.0, but they let you know that on the label. The Musou is 100% better as it goes on smooth and doesn’t immediately clump. It’s kinda meta, but I wish I had read this review before buying Black 3.0.

The idea is good but the product fails to deliver to a degree that borders on fraudulent, especially as this is their third attempt. It doesn't look as black as ordinarily black things, more like a dark grey. If you bought an OLED TV and the blacks looked like this, you'd send it back. As others have said it also attracts dirt in a really terrible way, must be tacky or something because it gets these like white smears, further negating it's supposed "void" properties. Wish I'd read reviews before wasting money on it, thank God I only used a smidge

I have been following the Vantablack craze for some time now and I can really think of a million ways that this black can be used, especially for marketing purposes! So being here I think will get it places. I for one backed it already so it's coming to Rhodes, Greece!
