Professional matte black paint
Rosco Supersaturated Concentrated Acrylic Paint Base in Velour Black is a professional-grade, water-based paint formulated for superior light absorption and deep matte black finishes. The vinyl acrylic co-polymer binder provides a flexible, durable film that adheres well to various surfaces. It arrives concentrated and requires dilution with water at a minimum 1:1 ratio before application via brush, roller, or spray gun. Cleanup is simple with soap and water.
For scenic artists and photographers
This paint suits scenic artists, photographers, and videographers needing true black backdrops, projection screens, or dance floors with minimal light reflection. It also works as a tint for other water-based coatings. Buyers needing a ready-to-use formula without dilution steps should look elsewhere. Those requiring a gloss or satin finish rather than a flat matte surface will not achieve the desired result with this specific formulation.
Consistent opacity after dilution
Under sustained project use, the concentrated base maintains pigment integrity when diluted correctly, delivering consistent opacity and colour depth across large areas. The robust binder resists cracking or peeling on flexible substrates like dance floors during repeated handling. Proper dilution ensures the film remains stable over extended periods, preventing separation or settling that would compromise the light-absorbing performance.
