Deep Black Finish: Total Black Super-Matt Varnish for Premium Design and Furniture
Super-opaque deep black paint with total light absorption on wood, metal and plastic. Total black finish for interior design, art and luxury furniture.
What is the deep black finish?
The deep black finish It is a super-opaque painted coating that achieves extreme levels of light absorption, with almost no residual shine and a velvety appearance that cancels the contours of the surfaces.
Unlike a standard matte black, deep black is distinguished by:
- Extreme light absorption — gloss close to 0 gloss
- Canceling reflections — no visible residual shine
- Two-dimensional effect — the surface seems flat and infinite
- Velvety tactility — perceptible softness on contact
- Unique color depth — black that is not comparable to any other
Cycle: preparation → primer → black base → multi-layer super-matt finish → seasoning. Technical data sheets on request.

FAQ
How black is Molteni Vernici's Absolute Black enamel?
Black reaches gloss levels close to 0 gloss, with extreme light absorption. It is the deepest black obtainable with professional paint systems.
What's the difference with a standard matte black?
Standard matte black still has visible micro-reflections (5-10 glosses). The deep black eliminates them almost completely, creating a unique two-dimensional effect.
Does it leave fingerprints?
The super-matte surface can highlight direct contact. Molteni Vernici formulations include anti-fingerprint agents to minimize this effect.

On which materials does it apply?
Wood, MDF, metal, plastic and composites. Every support requires impeccable preparation for optimal results.
Is it suitable for horizontal surfaces?
Possible but not recommended for high traffic plans. Ideal for vertical, decorative and scenographic elements.

Is it available in stronger versions?
Yes. The Molteni Vernici laboratory can formulate variants with greater mechanical resistance at the expense of a slight reduction in the super-matt effect.
Are there technical data sheets and certifications available?
Yes. Complete documentation with gloss, absorption, adhesion and resistance parameters. ISO/EN certifications on request.
How long does the application cycle take?
The complete cycle takes 10-14 days, including layering and seasoning to achieve optimal light absorption.
