Default ? for restorers.... console shade

what is correct color for black paint on console? gloss, flat, semi-gloss? I assume it is the same for gauge surround, right? for a '64. also, are gauge surround mounting screws black or chrome?

I prefer SEM trim black over Krylon. I used both & they are both a good match, but the SEM adhered much better for me. So much so that I took my cluster apart again & repainted with SEM. I could scratch off the Krylon with a fingernail.... Which I found out by accident during assembly.
