Kodak Brushing Lacquer No. 4, Dull Black
Jim Klein
planet.
It could be used inside lens barrels to kill reflections and it could
be used to retouch semi-gloss black exterior camera parts by simply
burnishing the coating after it dried.
On a clean surface it was almost impossible to scratch with a finger
nail.
I found 4 bottles 5 years ago in a camera shop in Fort Bragg, Ca so I
have my lifetime supply.
Does anyone know why it was mysteriously pulled from production?
Does it cause birth defects or something because it was not pulled of
the market because it didn't work.
And NO, there are no model paints which even come close to being an a
reasonable substitue.

The discussion about matte black paint is like a comet, coming again
every x-years. Nextel Black Velvet is still available and in many
people´s opinion
"the best there is".
It is produced by this German company:

Do the people answering these posts ever read the questions first?
Somehow I think not.
I know there are a lot of black materials out there. I never asked
about substitues, I was asking if anyone knew why this product
vanished? If you don't know, please don't reply. It wastes band width.
OK?

Jim:
I sort of disagree with you. Frequently, as threads expand and evolve,
there seems to be much to learn.
However, it would probably be good to note the change in the subject
line.

Well I don´t agree with that and I doubt you ever used or compared
Nextel with your Kodak stuff.

Other people besides you read replys to your questions. I found the
response about Nextel Black Velvet to be the most useful response to
your question about why the Kodak product is scarce. Besides, compared
to all the .GIF files and advertising floating around on the internet
the entire set of postings to sci.optics since the Internet was formed
has used negligable bandwidth. Ease up.

Does anyone know of a US distributor for the Nextel Velvet Black
product?
