I wasn't sure whether this belonged in the regular general discussion section or in OT. Because it's not really original Model T. But it's certainly pertinent to other discussions of black paint that we have seen on the site.
Now, THIS is truly black:

Musou black

Re: Musou black
Black!
I suspect that is a 'flat' black paint, which is a little 'furry' to the feel. There is another name for the almost velvety finish - a paint expert may be able to 'chip in' with that
It has no gloss element at all which gives it the 'extra black' appearance.
Usually that style paint is fragile and tends to rub off or scratch easily. I winder if this is like that?
A bit of research and I found this:
"Before rushing out to purchase bottles of this for your own project, just know that Musou Black wasn’t made for vehicles, as it’s water-based, which means it glosses as well as peels with just light contact"
because it is water based acrylic, it does not stay 'black' and is not durable, but it looks great! (for a while at least)
