    Vantablack isn’t really paint, it’s a coating of nanotubes the size of an atom. I wonder what that would feel like.

      Yeah, after I looked at it a bit and saw that exposure to/inhaling nanotubes probably isn’t the greatest idea I figured nontoxic paint was the next go to.

        It’s also grown on aluminum rather than applied as a paint IIRC. You’ll have to go with basic hardware store stuff if you want to go for a dip, probably.
