BLACK 2.0: The World’s “Mattest And Flattest” Black Paint Is Finally Available To All, And Costs Less Than You Think
122Kviews
Finally, I can paint my surroundings to reflect my dark soul. British artist Stuart Semple has developed a batch of super-black paint that’s also affordable and easily accessible for every artist!
You might recall Surrey NanoSystems’ “world’s blackest color” pigment Vantablack which is regarded as the blackest material in the world, but it costs a lot, users outside the UK require a government export license, and it smells like chemicals. Stuart, however, collaborated with thousands of artists around the globe to create BLACK 2.0, an abysmally dark acrylic paint that smells like cherries and can be shipped to anyone anywhere.
“With just one coat almost any object (even really shiny ones) become super-black and reflect next to no light, giving a fantastic black hole type effect.” The paint is non-toxic and one pop of 150ml (about 5 oz) will cost you around $15.

"appleogize"? who taught you spilling? JarJar Binx?
How are they holding the ball? the hand placement seems a little odd...
Like holding a basketball perhaps? Just below the middle? I think.
Yeah especially in the last one it would have been way more believable if you'd see the hands. But the stuff is real, no question, just odd idea of promotion. Or maybe that was their intention? So as to point out how ridiculously black it is - so much it looks unreal.
@Jason Hook- dont care what you think. And dont send me e-mails then spam my facebook just so I would "care" to argue with you. That's just sad, lol
I hate to break it to ya bud, but I didn't send you shit other than a couple replies. Don't know you on facebook, could give a damn about your emails, and really don't give enough shits to find out either. You're SERIOUSLY trying to bullshit your way to a few upvotes, or maybe trying to make me look like some sort of supervillain. Either way, really makes you an attention whore.

obviously not an athletic. with practice, you can hold a ball easy with a firm grip instead of a clutch. Way I see it, the guy in the last pic is holding the ball from behind with both hands close together as if in a throw. The scientist guy though, I think his hand is beneath the ball and the angle of the photo is taken from the top. so you cant see the hand... BUT IT COULD ALSO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BALL, LIKE A POT LID?
Nothing about his comment warranted the douchebaggey response you gave. And nothing he said suggested he's "obviously not an athletic". I mean, for Christ's sake, most people here will tell you the pictures of the dudes holding the ball look a bit weird because of his hand placement. Seriously looks like somebody just superimposed a picture of a black circle onto another image.
