Are you kidding me? These guys use hammers to open boxes, and don't even know how to open the can of paint to begin with.... you think they gonna do it right ever?
Honestly this is the exact kind of video ive wanted for years, People always show Amazing new Paints and Color tech but never the durability of the Paints or objects in movement and Nothings more of a Stress test then a Skateboard lmao.
They applied the paint completely wrong. There are specific instructions on the website. Plus the actual vanta black is super expensive, not inaccessible.
To answer Nigel's question: Black 3.0 reflects 2.5% of light - absorbing 97.5%. Musou Black reflects only 0.6% and is the true blackest paint. I've been a painter for 14 years - and All black paint looks lightning blue before application for some reason.
@@brailleskateboarding I saw a guy hurt his hand tryna reach into a paint spot so it's p legit make sure to paint the stairs with it lol you can tell people it's a ramp and watch hilarity ensue
It’s about the volume of light it absorbs paint the inside of a box with it and stick some objects inside with the same paint and then they will kinda fade away in the box
Some things you missed from the website. The last thing being one of the most important. "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"
Yeah, I would have thought it would have been more interesting if it was done properly. Bit of a pointless exercise. But Braille still are the top boys.
I'd say at least 3 coats on the bottom. Painted for years and they definitely need to let it dry after each coat and do that til it's maximum black black
I got you Nigel. Most black colors still reflect light, but some modern black paints use clever ohysics to reduce the light that is reflected. Less photons makes something darker technically.
I’m so glad Ricky is back! Just take it easy man! And you’ll be back in no time! I’m sure it’ll hurt much more than before but you can do what you want if u set ur mind to it
I love seeing the evolution of Gabe into such a confident and competent lead in these videos. He’s everything I hoped we would get from Lance. (No shade on Lance though, I just really enjoyed his vibe!)
It looks better inside because the lights produce specific frequencies of light, depending on the type, they use multiple LEDS or filters to try and get a wide range but it's nowhere near as wide spectrum as the sun, the paint absorbs artificial light way better than natural light. I also think more coats are neccesary and the surface finish is really important for light scattering, you need to sand it down after painting to perfect but the product does 'work' and has it's uses but the application is really important and sensistive.
You can't compare matte black to glossy black. Where the light source isn't being reflected into the camera, the glossy black will seem very black. But in that case, the light is not being absorbed - it's being reflected away from the camera. Matte black will diffuse the light so it's more evenly reflected in all directions, so if it still appears black, it means the light is getting absorbed. It clearly could be darker, but, it's still pretty dark for a non-reflective material.
Science teacher here. I experimented with this stuff and lego figures in my classroom. It's all about the application, which you did completely incorrectly. Try again! It's worth it! Trust me! The trucks will be completely indistinguishable from the board. It will look like a black hole.
The way deeper blacks are measured is the amount of light that is let in. So essentially the more “matte” it is the blacker it will look or the more it will disappear in low light. The more light like sunlight is still technically super dark. But there is like a total light absorption of around 97-99%. There is a couple way darker pigments than that that actually look like absolutely NOTHING Is there. It has no reflection or anything. It’s just a void. And the public cannot get it.
So right off the bat. Its not that the creator of Vanta black _wouldn't_ share the sauce. Its that the people he did it for wouldn't let him. People didn't set out to make it better out of spite, they set out to do it so that people actually had access to it.
I've seen some videos about that paint a few months ago and immediatley thought 'this'll only work in a lab' and you guys basically just proved it to me. Totaly on Nigels team here
There is a black paint that is so black its litterally like looking straight into a black hole but its verry expensive and in a really small jar but you should try it, its celled musou black
when watching this dude open that paint I immediately thought of my benchmade infidel and wondered why no one here had a blade then dude pulls out the exact knife I have
Iconic video, ya'll being yourself (with some yt friendliness edits) Would actually be cool to see the butter bench go Vantablack. Or maybe just the bottom of a skateboard just to test the slodes and pinching when you have normal grip n trucks
There is a darker coat using carbon nanotubes and it's wicked expensive and you can't buy it. You can however send things to the company to have it Painted coated in said nanotube paint.
If you use the paint correctly it is the blackest black. They did not bother to read the instructions on how to get the best results, it takes 3 coats, and works even better if mixed, stirred correctly. If they could not even open the tube correctly and had to destroy it shows the level of smarts and attention to detail. They approach it like children. Its like buying a car and have no idea how to drive it and come to the conclusion that the car sucks, does not work.
