Just some thoughts on this subject. Last I knew, Vanta was not available to the public and extremely expensive. I know about Musou, Singularity, and a couple others out there that are available but the problem with them is durability. They will be damaged by even a light touch. Reflectance plays a big part in these finishes as to the perceived blackness and any clear coat or attempts at mixing other products to add durability will change this dramatically.
DuPont, PPG, and others have some very black automotive finishes available that will be a lot more durable and even to heat to some extent. Of course these will not have the look I think you are after but no conventional paint will either.
An old trick for sight posts of putting a flame to them for a second or two will achieve something similar to those blackest black finishes. This isn't far off from how those finishes work either, with absorbing light and not reflecting. About as durable as Musou will be to touch too.
Whatever you decide to go with, I wish you the best of luck with it.
