Rich,

To start with, look at these articles:

https://wp.optics.arizona.edu/optomech/wp-content/uploads/sites/53/2016/10/Black-Coatings-to-Reduce-Stray-Light.pdf

Here's a provider that specializes in black coatings
https://www.acktar.com/

I used 3M ECP-2220 Solar Absorber Coating.  I bought a gallon of it in 1988 to use in the design of a spectrofluorometer.  The resulting stray light in the monochromator compartment was VERY low and easy to apply.

Unfortunately I looked but haven't been able to find it on the web (it was listed on the second reference paper I listed in the Review of Scientific Instruments).
