I was just looking at some of my IR photos, and realized asphalt comes

sheet I copuld try. Thanks.

The blackest common paint is Krylon 1602 Ultra Flat Black, beloved in
optics circles everywhere.

Thanks for that Joe. I am going to need some flat black paint to paint
the inside of some optics assemblies in the not too distant future.
