Yep,

DuPont lacquer. No lead, Still avoid eating the chips :-). Recall that right along with "duck and cover".

Reason Model T's and early A's were black is huge dip tanks in one color were cheap. Henry Ford was fond of cheap. Color change's did not come to FoMoCo until Edsel Ford RIP. "Available in any color as long as it's Black".

Billy Durant GM sold a bunch of green/red/blue cars.

Slingerland Duco changed over the years. Here is a small sample.

I don't doubt that but I have read in more than one source that another reason they went with black (besides the fact that it goes with everything) was it was the fastest drying "color" then available.

GM was quick to jump on using the new colored Duco lacquers on new snazzier cars while Henry Ford insisted on building and selling only the Model T well past its point of design obsolescence. Of course GM figured out you sell lots more cars by making each year "obsolete" with next year's improved model.
