Recently I've been having trouble finding an acceptable flat black--one that goes on thin yet covers well, with few brush strokes. And even though I prefer enamel, I was thrilled when I first tried this paint. In my experience, it goes on well, with a minimum of brush strokes, and it does in fact cover well. An added bonus is that it seems to be just a tiny bit on the gray side of true black, so it looks in scale. It also works extremely well in painting over the raised white letters on the AMT parts pack tires--brush a thin coat over the letters, and they DISAPPEAR! This paint's good stuff!

MM makes some of the best and most easy to use paint. Both in the air brush and by brush.
