## About Stuart Semple
Stuart Semple is a British artist known for making extreme, boundary-pushing art materials. He created the world's pinkest pink, the world's blackest black (Black 4.0), and materials that challenge corporate monopolies on colour. He famously opened his materials to every artist in the world — except Anish Kapoor (who is literally banned).
His art project at culturehustle.com sells paints, pigments, glow powders, sprays and more directly to artists worldwide.

## Frequently Asked Questions
**How long will it take?**
It may take a few weeks while we work through everyone.
**Will I lose my order history?**
No. We still have a record of your orders.
**Have you changed how you ship to the EU?**
Yes. We have upgraded our UK sending setup with more robust systems for EU orders.
**What happened with US orders last summer?**
When the new US tariffs came in, a lot of orders were held up and returned. That caused a big backlog.
**How are you shipping to the US now?**
We now have a space sending orders out directly from the US, which should make things smoother.
**Did something happen to your US shipping space?**
Yes. Our first space was on Grade Lane and ended up in the crash site last November. None of our team were hurt, but the disruption took months to work through.
**Do you offer free shipping?**
Yes. Orders over £85 ship free to the UK, USA, and EU. Orders over £150 ship free everywhere else. Flat rate options are also available at checkout.
**Where do you ship from?**
North American orders ship from our US studio in Kentucky. All other orders ship from the UK.
**How long does delivery take?**
Allow up to two weeks depending on your location. A fast track option is available at checkout if you need it sooner.
**Where are your products made?**
All materials are handmade by a team of artists in England using the world's best ingredients.
**Do US customers pay import duties or customs fees?**
No. US orders ship domestically from our US studio in Kentucky, so there are no import duties or customs fees for customers in North America.
**What is the customs tariff code for the paints?**
For a single paint: 3213900000. For sets (like Phaze, etc.): 3213100000.
**Can you ship to a PO Box?**
Unfortunately we are not able to send orders to PO Box addresses. Our carriers require a full street address to generate a shipping label. If you have entered a PO Box at checkout, get in touch and we will sort it out before your order ships.
**What is Black 4.0?**
Black 4.0 is our ultra-matte black paint. It is so black it eats light and looks like a velvet void, absorbing over 99% of visible light.
**Why did you replace Black 3.0 with Black 4.0?**
Black 3.0 was exciting but could be unstable. Painted too thick, it could trap moisture and form salty white crystals. Black 4.0 fixes those issues and gives deeper, more stable coverage. Black 3.0 is now discontinued.
**My Black 4.0 bottle has a Black 4.0 label over Black 3.0 artwork. Is it really Black 4.0 inside?**
Yes, it is Black 4.0 inside. Black 4.0 needs a specific type of bottle because of the experimental materials in the formula. We had already made a big run of those bottles back when Black 3.0 was the current design, so they were printed with Black 3.0 artwork. When Black 4.0 launched, we kept using those same bottles and added the correct Black 4.0 artwork on top. It saves perfectly good packaging from being scrapped, and it means you still get the right bottle for the paint. We are not selling Black 3.0 as Black 4.0. Black 3.0 is discontinued and any remaining Black 3.0 stock is solid, so it is not being bottled or shipped.
**Can I use Black 4.0 outdoors or on cars or sculptures?**
People have, but it is not a permanent outdoor paint. To keep the ultra-matte look, the surface needs to stay unsealed, so outdoors or on cars it will wear or fade over time. You can retouch it. It is best for indoor work, temporary finishes, shows, and experiments.
**Can I seal it with varnish, resin, or a clear coat?**
No. Any varnish, resin, or coating adds shine and ruins the effect. The void only works when the surface stays completely unsealed.
**How do I use Black 4.0?**
Use a soft synthetic brush (Liquitex Freestyle, Pro-Arte Sterling, Coltman or Cryla). Apply very thin, even coats and let each coat dry fully before the next, at least 2 hours (overnight is best). Prep porous surfaces with a 25% PVA + 75% water seal first. Prep shiny or slick surfaces with Black 2.0 or a matte primer. Thin only with a little water. Don't use flow additives or mediums that add shine.
**What surfaces is Black 4.0 best on?**
It works on canvas, card, wood, paper, plaster, stone, foam, and most primed surfaces. Porous surfaces need a PVA seal first. Shiny or slick surfaces need Black 2.0 or a matte primer first.
