Every paint rack needs a good black, and this is a proper one. AK's 3rd Gen Black is the pot you'll reach for constantly — undercoats, deep shadows, boots, tyres, gun barrels, the lot. Dense, smooth and endlessly useful, it's the definition of a bench essential.

- Undercoats, deep shadows, and everything that needs to be genuinely black
- Scratch-resistant once dry and happy alongside AK weathering products
Use it neat for the darkest recesses, or mix it into any colour to deepen your shadows — there's a reason this is the first pot most painters run dry.
The one you'll always need more of. Keep the rack stocked from the 3rd Gen acrylic range and pair it with a hard-wearing brush.
