Single Stage Paint? Good idea? Bad idea?

Gentlemen,

I am getting ready to repaint my '41 110 Club Coupe and have decided on black for the color.

Question: Will I be better off using a single-stage paint rather then the usual basecoast/clearcot as far as getting a deeper color? My painter doesn't use laquer and I want to avoid that "plastic" look you get with clearcoat on top of black paint.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of a single-stage black urethane finish? My goal is to get the deepest, laquer-like finish possible...the kind that looks like you could dive into it!

Thanks!
