Vanta Black (Black 2,3) - painting a saber to be invisible

Sabers
1

I was reading through the thread on paint adhesion and accents (good advice!) and was wondering if anyone had any experience using Black 2.0.

This is for a dual quad blade flow saber made from 1" PVC at the grip. The user wants the grip section to be “invisible” so I looked into Vanta black’s cousins (who knew a paint color could cause so much drama). I understand these non-reflective super matte blacks are fragile and can’t be top coated.

Has anyone tried any techniques for reducing the visibility of a grip section?

Interesting idea.
I have seen the black 2.0 and it baffled my brian.
It was very good but yes it is rather fragile so not sure if it will be usable.

Chill dude with a great attitude. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hexek are you on here? How did the paint hold up?

Did you prime with 2.0 or use an undercoat?
