      Vantablack is applied via spraying it on at some 200 degrees C, then putting the object in a vacuum to let the nanotubes align.

      Its not really a paint.

      Vantablack isn’t even really a pigment. It’s a carbon nanotube structure that is suited to telescope interiors.

      Stuart Semple’s Culture Hustle’s Black2.0 and Black 3.0 are both fantastic paints. He doesn’t half step, his pink is fucking ridiculous. His glow pigments are intense and easy to use. His chrome isn’t just silver paint, it’s like actually chrome-like.

      I have both versions of Semple’s black. Paint brush works fine. You need a lab to apply Vantablack.
