Default Interior Black Trim Pieces - What sheen?

What sheen are the interior pieces by the shifter and guages? Flat, Satin or Semi-Gloss.

BTW I have a '79.

Thanks.

Krylon Semi-flat works well on my '68, but I'm not sure about a '79.

Thanks. I'm painting all the pieces. Nothing NCRS, just want to get it close.

I like the Semi Gloss...semi flat seems to be harder to get the dust out of

I used SEM's "Trim Black" on most of my black interior pieces. It matched the sheen perfectly. It's available at many of the autobody/paint supply places.

For what it's worth, I switched to semi-gloss black paint. Looks great!

FYI: The interior plastic dye from Corvette Central had a flat tinge that looked terrible. Perhaps it needed a clear coat (?). Downside: I've got 3-4 cans of expensive dye that are going to be collecting dust on my shelve for years to come.

Just as clarification, the Krylon Semi-flat is actually a satin finish...they just call it "semi-flat". My experience with Krylon rattle-cans has always been excellent. They always level out nice and dry quickly. Rust-oleum is awful, IMO...
