Did you get his black paint? I'm curious how you like it and/or his other paints.
I haven't got his black paints as I haven't had a real need yet. I do have some colors that aren't on his site anymore, and most recently got the ek blue. It's very matte, exactly what I hoped for when I ordered it lol.
I love how smooth his paints are, and I've never had to go over again for better coverage or deeper color. Worth the price imo, and I like the idea that buying from him helps fund the next wild thing he comes up with
Black 3.0 is a good, all around ultra-black. It is certainly a bit lighter than 4.0, but also applies differently, 4.0 almost needs some muscle applying, it is very thick and sticky. I think they're both identically priced, so I'd say the difference is really how you'll handle it, and in the final mechanical properties, which apparently are slightly different, with 4.0 drying a bit less resistant than 3.0.
If you want an even blacker black, consider Musou Black, a Japanese ultra-black. Can be airbrushed, too. Not saying 3.0 or 4.0 can't be airbrushed, but I imagine 4.0 will take some fiddling around.
I'm pretty sure that there are black pigments darker than vantablack now.
Yeah, Stuart S, this artist they are talking abouy, sells them too.
He made his own version of black, too. Been meaning to get some for a project but it's pretty far down on my project totem pole at the moment.

It makes me laugh every time I buy stuff from him
