The only way your going to get a "wet" look is BC/CC, I'd recommend either Dupont Chroma Premier BC/CC Black base 99K or Chroma Premier's Super Jet Black base G9900S with Chroma Premier "High Glamour Clear" or HOK's (House of Kolor) S2-25 JET BLACK basecoat with House of Kolor urethane Kosmic Klear

The HOK is probably your best choice, base is about $200 gallon, and the Kosmic Klear is about $150 gallon

Prep/finish is key to the finish your looking for, for a wet look black finish, I finish block/wet sand the primer base to 600 grit, no sealer finish, just basecoat color choice, and several coats of clear...I usually wait 3-4 weeks to cut/wet sand the clear coat, I start lightly with 800 grit, then 1000, then 1200, then 1500, then 2000,....and finish with 2500 grit and sometimes 3000 grit paper, no compounding, just polish
