Achieve unparalleled black depth with easy application. Review: It's black - I used this for a miniature diorama and it turned out great. It isn't quite the void that some of the pictures make it out to be but it is much blacker than any other equivalent paint I've ever seen. I'd recommend airbrushing it where possible as I found it a little tricky to work with with a brush but the result was still just fine. It's easy to leave brush marks if you aren't careful so multiple thin coats and never touch the same area twice is a good rule for working with this stuff. I was worried about the smell that some people reported so made sure to have some good ventilation (an open window) but I didn't notice anything while working with it over about an hour. Review: Probably the blackest existing paint - Its probably the blackest paint in world. I measured its color with color spectrometer and compared it to other paints for my youtube channel and this one was a winner. Just search for the Search for the Blackest Black to find my review. The paint is super matt and has not specular at all. Apparently its not water proof. The bottle is quite small so doesnt give much coverage. To be fully efficient requires 2 layers, the 2nd applied after at least 2 days after the first one. The only blacker substance I found was Musou Black fabric. Never seen anything blackier. ## Features - Blackest Black Paint in the World 99.4% light absorption - Water-Based Acrylic Paint - Easy to use - For Best Results use an Air-Brush and apply several coats - Large Size 100ml bottle ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QSFNKYG | | Best Sellers Rank | 150,071 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 867 in House Paint | | Brand | HomeOutdoor | | Brand Name | HomeOutdoor | | Colour | black | | Colour Code | #000000 | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country of Origin | Japan | | Coverage | 10 square metres per litre | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 214 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 1.5 | | Finish Type | Powder | | Finish type | Powder | | Full Cure Time | 2 Hours | | Included Components | Brush | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Volume | 100 Millilitres | | Item volume | 100 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Musou | | Model Name | Musou Black | | Paint Type | Acrylic paint, water-based | | Size | 100 ml (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | 99.4% light absorption | | Special feature | 99.4% light absorption | | Specific Uses For Product | Interior | | Surface Recommendation | Plastic | | Unit Count | 100 millilitre | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HomeOutdoor - **Colour:** black - **Finish type:** Powder - **Item volume:** 100 Millilitres - **Paint type:** Acrylic paint, water-based - **Size:** 100 ml (Pack of 1) - **Special feature:** 99.4% light absorption - **Specific uses for product:** Interior - **Surface recommendation:** Plastic - **Unit count:** 100 millilitre ## Images ![HomeOutdoor Musou Black Water-based Acrylic Paint - 100ml - Made in Japan - Blackest Black in the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tsSPbnPVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use this to paint walls in a cinema room?** A: Hello, Yes you could but the paint is fragile so it will rub off fairly easily, you can top coat it but then it loses some of its "blackness". You would also need a lot and the best way to apply is via several very fine layers. I would suggest looking at their black material and lining the wall with this. They do have a fire retardant model for building regs. I have some samples that we will be listing in the next few days... **Q: I need to cover a 4Mx4M ceiling with the musou fabric. I can't respond to the previous question as amazon doesnt allow. how much would this cost ?** A: This will be not cheap.. please try searching for Musou Fabric KIWAMI in Germany/Austria. There is a shop selling those. **Q: Could I paint a drone with this** A: Yes, but it is not very durable, even with a clear coat. Also adding anything on top makes it brighter. **Q: can u sell the 1 litre bottles? if so how much?** A: Yes, we sell it on Amazon. You can find it in the search field with Musou 1 Liter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's black *by J***S on 17 October 2024* I used this for a miniature diorama and it turned out great.

Never seen anything blackier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard to use but great finish *by L***H on 12 July 2025* It's quite hard to work with and expensive but all blacks like this are Needed thinning down a lot to go through my airbrush With a brush, due to its nature it's very streaky No durability at all, just look at it funny and it will come off but I painted a steel pc case with this and then lacquered after. You will need something to seal it. Takes a lot of coats to get a good finish but if you're willing to work with it knowing it's properties it does leave a good finish. Doesn't look super black in the light but in low light or dark it's like a mini black hole and looks super cool at night and UV is amazing. Would not recommend for novice painters but if you have some experience working with delicate paints then it's not too hard to use. And an airbrush/sprayer is almost required and a matt sealant is essential. ## Frequently Bought Together - HomeOutdoor Musou Black Water-based Acrylic Paint - 100ml - Made in Japan - Blackest Black in the World - Vallejo - Airbrush Thinner for Acrylic Paints 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.) - Musou Black Water-based Acrylic Paint - 100ml - Made in Japan - Blackest Black in the World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/289972949-homeoutdoor-musou-black-water-based-acrylic-paint-100ml-made-in](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/289972949-homeoutdoor-musou-black-water-based-acrylic-paint-100ml-made-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-15*
