Topic: [Auction] 2018 Kialara Hydra Suite 01/21 - page 2. (Read 967 times)

Not vantablack, these are made with cerakote. It's more of a matte black finish that's soft to the touch. I'm smiling b/c I reached out to the company behind vantablack in the UK and they quoted me $150k to paint 300 housings. I'm really curious to see in person, so I did discuss ordering a sample but felt I'd be wasting their time and probably my own. Still, I'm fascinated with the concept.

The Emerald housing looks really really black, not sure if it's just the lighting, maybe it's vantablack...?

Pretty exciting!

New Kialara's look super good, great idea with the gem stones too.

Definitely check out the IMGUR album he posted too. Some real nice close-ups/detail.
