Painting Methods


Musou Black can easily be applied with a brush or an air-brush. In order to achieve the best result, we strongly recommend air-brushing. By repeatedly applying multiple thin layers of powder coatings with an air-brush, you can achieve an ultra-black coating that can absorb up to 99.4% of visible-light!

It is recommended to thin Musou Black with water depending on the nozzle size of your air-brush and settings.

  • Nozzle sizes above 0.5 = shouldn’t require thinning
  • Nozzle sizes 0.5 and below = most likely require thinning with water to prevent clogging

Even when painted with a paint brush, Musou Black Paint maintains an industry-leading light absorption rate of 98.8%! Due to its lower viscosity compared to general acrylic paints, it is easy to achieve a non-reflective matte surface.
