MUSOU BLACK, World Blackest Acrylic Paint, 100ml x 2 Pack, 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

This paint was amazing!!! Closest paint to vanta black I have ever used! The paint does dry quickly and gives a matte and smooth texture. I did find that when I thinned it and airbrushed it the final texture was almost like velvet. It made the paint appear even darker than it already did. But be warned if you airbrush this on you cannot touch the surface or it will ruin the textured effect from airbrushing it.It hides brushstrokes very well, the size of the bottles are small BUT a little goes a long way ESPECIALLY if you you airbrush over regular black acrylic paint. Works well as intended, and value for money couldn’t be better!

I have been ordering this black paint for over a year now. It is blacker than the blackest of black black and it goes on much smoother and gets delivered in 3 days at the most instead of 6 months. This is my favorite super black matte acrylic paint and if you want something that's blacker than black blackety black black and you want the object you're painting to look like a void then get this I promise you you will not regret it. It is also the best price for the amount of super blackety black black blackest of black black er than blackest of black black paint.

Welp....I'm an artist...so I have been 'playing' with paints....since I can remember....and....this stuff is BLACK....I mean BLACK......most paints have so me or even a ....slight sheen.....as....this has DONE......it is listed as a MATTE paint....but after playing with it for a minute and waiting for it to dry down....it...literally....looks like VELVET....smooth.......NO LIGHT reflection.....like A....very very dark....black HOLE...My suggestion is not to use this with other acrylic paints....because this paint is so unique...it will not settle 'in' or BLEND well...with the sheen of the...other acrylic paints....it is dense and VERY DARK....smooth and appearing to be....VELVET.Quite frankly....I have NEVER used an art product quite like this....The VISCOSITY of the paint is dense...thicker and a cream like paste.......not the thin runny paints for child's play....as this stuff has some 'bulk' to it.I Originally found this by searching for......... 'JAPANESE unique art supplies'.....and VOILA......saw this and bought it.....WHAT A UNIQUE PAINT......!If you wanna play.....and experience a whole new TEXTURE abd DRY DOWN with some unique paint......you need to TRY THIS.this afternoon......I 'played' for a while....experimenting with different papers and surfaces....and welp.......YOU NEED this people.....it is BRAZEN in its UNIQUENESS...and a fabulous matte...dreamy...very velvet paint texture.I think I'm in LOVE....smile.

This is the best black ink ever. I use it over any other on the market. :)

It's very black. It's water based so it doesn't do well outdoors.

This is the most beautiful black paint I have ever used. It looks like black velvet on the canvas. It's covering power, even over the brightest colors is both magnificent and flawless. I'm delighted to have discovered this product. After I used it the first time, I immediately bought 4 more bottles. I wish it was available in larger sizes. But then, it dries so quickly, maybe that isn't such a good idea. If you've ever wanted a truly deep, deep black, this stuff beats the socks off of wasting time and money mixing your own black and never getting it to come out as dark as you want it.

TLDR, Musou black paint is the blackest paint I've ever used. Grab it if you're looking for a very black paint that's a breeze to paint with and (as of April 2025) it doesn't have any smell of chemical death like earlier versions warned about requiring PPE.Okay, but is it "vanta black"? No. It's arguably many shades darker than chalk black, and a shade darker than Black 3.0. I bought this paint to upgrade my "black" telescope tube in hopes of preventing scattered light. This paint is shades blacker than the one used from a telescope's factory black so I'm happy.And I was pleasantly surprised just how great of a paint it is! Creamy inky black consistency that cleans up easy with water. A real pleasure to paint with. It dries fast but be aware anything this black has a subtle fuzzy texture so it will be more vulnerable to touch. Not really suitable for something you handle everyday. I painted it with a paint brush but I've read you'll get even better results if applied with an airbrush.All that being said, it's not pure abyss black. It's simply blacker than any competitor I've come across. So, when I bought a swatch of Musou's black felt to compare it to a standard I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Musou's black felt is considerably blacker than any paint could ever likely achieve. It's literally the blackest material I've ever seen in real life. A bit more expensive than this paint but I absolutely plan on upgrading to this brands felt as soon as price permits. My camera's white balance went absolutely haywire. It's black. "Blacker than a hole in the earth". Compared to other black-out felt it's in its own league (see pictures). I painted a cap and swatch in Musou to compare. I knocked a star from this review (perhaps unfairly) just because their felt is so much blacker than anything else on this earth I couldn't help but feel envious and a little buyers remorse?! It's a paint though. Felt might not be ideal for all uses.

To counter the delicacy of this paint, I have been using Cerakote C, the air-dry stuff. I lay a coat of that down in desert sand, then after a few minutes lay the black over top. I use the sand color so I can verify coverage of the black. This bonds the black into the ceramic base of the Cerakote. I'm pretty sure this will work with any kind of structurally sound paint. The black does a fantastic job of absorbing the light. Even with night vision it absorbs the IR light.
