# Hyper-Black Spray Paints The Vantablack S-VIS Spray Paint is As Black As Can Be By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-03-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-spray-paint References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/vantablack-s-vis-spray/42298/) & [surreynanosystems](http://www.surreynanosystems.com/media/news/) The Vantablack coating has recently been getting a lot of attention for being the blackest of black coatings ever developed; now however, the Surrey Nanosystems invention is available in the form of a black spray paint -- the blackest black spray paint ever made. The Vantablack S-VIS coating is capable of trapping 99.8 per cent of visible, infrared and ultraviolet light, meaning that it is 17 times less reflective than the hyper-black paint used in [NASA's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martian-aerogel-jacket) Hubble telescope. This spray paint is easy to apply and can be used to coat large and complex objects made out of a wide variety of materials, although a number of pre- and post-application steps are required. This black spray paint could have applications in a number of domains and could be used for everything from commercial products like cameras to high-tech [space technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elysium-blue-jacket). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hyper-black Coatings:** Opportunity exists for developing other products and materials with hyper-black coatings that offer superior light absorption. - **Spray-on Vantablack:** The development of spray-on Vantablack paint opens up new possibilities for easily applying the blackest black coating on various surfaces. - **Light-absorbing Technologies:** Advancements in light-absorbing materials like Vantablack spray paint pave the way for innovations in various industries that require reduced reflectivity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** The hyper-black spray paint can be used to enhance the aesthetics of electronic devices, such as smartphones and laptops, through ultra-black coatings. - **Automotive:** The development of hyper-black spray paints opens up opportunities for creating sleek and ultra-black car finishes, providing a unique and luxurious look. - **Space Technology:** The use of Vantablack spray paint in space technologies allows for better light capture and reduction of reflections, leading to improved imaging systems and instruments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jet-Black Interior Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-black-40.md) - [Pitch-Black Pixel NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-zeroes.md) - [Stark Black Low-Cut Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanta-black.md) - [High-Frequency Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint.md) - [Low-Odor Spray Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-spray-paint.md) - [Film-Themed Spray Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloakwork.md) - [Nuclear Reactor Coating Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coating-spray.md) - [Cooling Vehicle Paint Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-technology.md) - [AR Spray Painting Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-spray-painting.md)
