The gm black g-bodies had, which dated back to the really early years was a hint brown. An aftermarket black will be the blackest. Deepest blacks often have a hint of blue.

Lacquer is still available for furniture from manufacturers such as lemar, now owned by Benjamin Moore. I redid an old family herloom part for one of my bosses last year by adding black stain to pre-cat lacquer & shading a brown part near black.

Duplicolor is marketed to diy use & still sells lacquer base auto paint through places like Advance Auto. It's less hazzardous to spray & in a certain sense easier to use than modern paint, though it requires more coats & definitely less durable. Also I don't see any retarder in stock with their supplies. Kinda handicaps you from being fully professional with it.
