I used an airbrush to paint with Musou Black a dew shield for one of my refractors. Once a couple of layers were done, I held the cylinder out in the midday December sun. It didn't even look like a cylinder any more. It looked like a 2 dimensional object in direct sunlight. Unfortunately it is a fragile finish when using a spray brush. To protect it you need to use a matte varnish. But, matte varnish is still a bit glossy because varnish.

For other flocking related projects I just watered it down and applied multiple layers for a smooth but very very black finish. Also, much more resilient when applied that way.
