THE OG ULTIMATE BLACK PAINT

It’s here.

After seven years in the making, the ultimate deep black paint is here. Black 4.0 is without a doubt the blackest most velvety black paint in the known universe. Born out of Stuart Semple’s obsession to share utterly unique art materials that elevate your art. Here is an arcylic paint that has never been seen before by the human eye.

Stuart’s obsession came into contact with Anish Kapoor not letting people have Vantablack, and it led him down a black hole that has resulted in the release of Black 4.0. The first total void in a bottle.

Try this absolute black paint for yourself.
Once you’ve painted with this Black you’ll never look back.

YOU THINK IT'S PRETTY HOT

"Got to say 4.0 was a dream to paint with
went down so smooth and dried quickly."

"Come and See and I Saw"

"The 4.0 has great coverage and such a smooth consistency."
@brunskiwaa
