We are very excited to present "Musou Black," a water-based acrylic paint and the World's Blackest Paint
General black acrylic paints absorbs around 94-98% of light however
Musou Black absorbs up to 99.4% of light in the visible light range.
Our hope is that this black paint will bring inspiration to everyone and we are always looking forward to everyone's creations!

Painting Methods
This water-based acrylic paint can easily be applied using an air-brush or a paint-brush. Achieving an overwhelming blackness has never been easier!
We will always recommend painting Musou Black with an air-brush. By applying multiple thin layers of powder coatings, you can achieve a blackness that will absorb up to 99.4% of light!
Even if painted with a paint-brush, this paint maintains the world's highest class light absorption rate of 98.8%! It has a high concealment and low reflection performance, yet has much lower viscosity than general acrylic paints, and it is easy to make a smooth non-reflective surface.
Right now, you may be thinking "Well, what about Vantablack then? Isn't that the darkest thing in the world?" And yes, you are correct. Vantablack is the world's darkest MATERIAL, it is not a paint. Vantablack is made out of carbon nanotubes that achieves its astonishing 99.96% absorption rate. With that being said, Surrey Nanosystems (the developer of Vantablack) has developed a paint version of Vantablack called "Vantablack VBx2." This paint was used in their collaboration with BMW. According to their catalog, the absorption rate of this paint is 99%.
Although the difference is small, this means that Musou Black is darker with its 99.4% absorption rate.
