Black 3.0 is the latest version of Stuart Semple’s super matte, ultra black acrylic paint.

It was created with the help of over 1000 different artists who beta-tested the paint. Thanks to the amazing support of the artistic community via Kickstarter we managed to fund the manufacture of this incredible paint (it was just too much for our little studio).

Black 3.0 is the blackest and mattest acrylic paint on the planet. Unlike other super-black coatings it can be safely applied with nothing more than a brush, and we’ve worked super hard to make it affordable. 

We created a new acrylic resin that holds more pigment than other acrylics which means 3.0 is capable of trapping much more light.

We developed a pigment (Black Magick) that is totally matte (normally black pigments are slightly shiny)

We have added a variety of brand new transparent mattifiers to flatten out stray light.

• Absorbs up to 99% of visible light
• Apply with a brush or a spray
• Works with most surfaces (wood, paper, canvas, plastic, metal, plaster etc…)
• Thins with water
• Lightfast and archival
• No need for cooking, vacuum chambers, or weapons-grade scientists
• Smells like fresh coffee
• Not available to Kapoor

Looking for a bigger bottle? Got a BIG idea? Black 3.0 has been supersized… get your BIG Black (1 litre) here

It’s simply a paint, so it’s super easy. You literally just brush it on. It will handle a bit different than your other paints, but you’ll get used to it :)

Key things to remember:

• Use a nice soft brush (not a rubbish scratchy comblike one)
• Apply at room temperature 10 - 25 c ( 50 - 77 F)
• Use as little paint as possible and spread it out nicely
• Allow to dry between coats (at least two hours, overnight is better)
• Use a hairdryer to get max blackness
• Seal absorbent (porous) things with 25% PVA and 75% Water
• Prime shiny (non - absorbent) things with primer or Black 2.0

Q. Can I mix it into Resin?

A. Technically yes, but it will not stay matte! If you're looking for a glossy and super black finish then this is for you! We recommend using Epoxy Resin.

Thank you so much for your support!

Introducing TIFF, the latest colour to be liberated by Stuart Semple.

The iconic Tiffany Blue has been held tight in the Tiffany & Co grasp, but the Studio has been able to recreate a stunning super flat matte high grade shade for all artists to use in their creations.

BLACK MIRROR 

For centuries a high-gloss brushable mirror paints have eluded alchemists and scientists. 

Cars need to be lacquered, gloss needed to be sprayed. Household gloss left brushmarks and artists dreamed of a mega gloss for their work. You needed to buy gloss topcoats, and if you got it wrong it foamed and bubbled and clouded your work. 

Brushable, super reflective paints are elusive, challenging, and difficult to use. We really hope this contribution fixes that and enables you to do things you couldn't before in your work! No more gloss topcoats! 

Artist Stuart Semple and his studio geeks are well known for creating both the blackest black paints and Mirror - the first and best brushable mirror chrome paint. 

We are hyped to share that these discoveries have now collided to enable you to wield the power of Black Mirror, simply the shiniest, mirroriest black coating out there. 

We wanted to create a paint that wasn't just glossy or shiny but was so reflective it could truly be called a Black Mirror. As it dries you'll see the same self-leveling technology we used in the original Mirror come into play to give you a super flat, ultra-gloss finish. It's tough too, you won't need a topcoat on this monster! 

• SELF LEVELING 
• RIDICULOUSLY REFLECTIVE
• GOES ON WITH A BRUSH OR SPRAY 
• BLACKER THAN A GOTH'S HEART
• DRIES REALLY TOUGH AND DURABLE
• NONE MORE BLACK 

Is Black Mirror really the world's most reflective Black paint? 

We believe so! It's way shinier and more reflective than any brushable paint we've put it up against. But we don't know everything... that's where you come in! We would love you to put it through its paces, compare it to other paints, and let us know if we've really nailed it... 

We've made a small batch of lab tins or this bonkers new Black Mirror concoction. We are sharing them with a small number of artists in order to get a sense of how you use them and how we can make it even better for all artists. We will send you a survey a couple of weeks after you get the paint, and if you have time we'd love to hear all your thoughts. As a thank you, we will make sure you get a healthy discount on the final formulation. 

Unlike most of our other materials this paint is solvent-based so please use it in a well-ventilated area. 

BIG TIP! Don't use a scratchy, rubbish brush. Use a decent soft paintbrush (or experiment with a spray) 

• Clean your brushes with white spirit/turps etc not with water!
• Use a good soft synthetic brush.
• Seal porous surfaces first (PVA is good)
• Obviously don’t leave it on your skin, drink it, eat it etc.
• You can spray it with an airbrush BUT make sure you have a mask on - the fumes aren’t friendly!
• Keep it away from the kids and animals
• Don't get it in your eyes! 
• It doesn't dry quite the same as the paints you're used to - make sure to leave it to dry for 24 hours in a cool (not cold), well-ventilated area, for 24 hours before touching it

We can’t wait to see what you do with it! Please be sure to share your work with us.

Have fun and thank you!
