These new black paints are pretty crazy.
Crazy Black Paint

That's wild, but I wonder if it would easily rub off and get all over everything since there's no top coat to seal it in? Like when my wife puts on lotion with ****ing glitter in it then that is now stuck on my leather seats in my truck.
Thing looks like a cartoon. Gross.
Respect the process and skill to achieve though!

Cool (process), but I'm not a fan at all. The appearance is beyond fugly. Horrible, actually!
I've seen videos with this before and it's pretty much for show only.
this. almost seems like CGI in vidoes, would be interesting to see in person.
Rubs/falls right off. It's glitter sprayed on ultra black without any bond.
Yikes. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Only value to that paint would be for something you drive at night that you don't want to get caught in. I think special operations was looking into using this on some of their vehicles because you'll never see it.
I feel like if used in certain areas, like vent slats for example it could add extra "depth" to cars, but I would definitely not paint a whole car it.
That’s really trippy looking. Not my style at all but it’s cool to see
Not a fan at all. It looks rough, like a glittering bedliner.
No thanks.

That would be my guess as well. I bet that paint turns to crap after about 1 good day in the sun too.
I have a home/office decor idea that flake powder would be great for. I ma y have to try that this winter.
The OEM's are playing around with blacker black concepts.

It’s hard to describe Vantablack, the world’s darkest black pigment, without seeing it for yourself.
First developed for use in light-sensitive aerospace components (and infamously licensed for artistic use solely by sculptor Anish Kapoor), the pigment uses tiny carbon nanotubes to absorb up to 99.965% of light striking its surface. At Google’s top secret materials lab, I recently gazed upon a sample of Vantablack in real life for the first time. It almost broke my brain. It has no reflection, no contours. It’s like part of the world has been Photoshopped away. Stare at it long enough, and it feels like your soul is being sucked out of your eyeballs.
It’s a frightening idea, to imagine seeing a Vantablack car on the road. BMW used a more reflective version of the paint, which bounces back a more generous 1% of visible light, for this application. Yet even with a slightly reflective surface, a Vatablack car in your rearview mirror would probably look something like a Looney Tunes tunnel painted on in the middle of the street. Is that an object or a void?

id like to see this black paint in person but as far as painting a vehicle in it - how hard is it gonna be to see that thing coming down the street I wonder.
Nighttime legal concerns may be why we haven't seen more.
