Default Windshield Wiper Arms

My wiper arms on both sides are really pitted and a lot of the paint
is off. I'm going to paint them but I'm not sure if they were a gloss
black or a flat black from the factory. Any one know?

Don't know for sure that's why I'm leaning to the original colour

Mine are pretty worn also, but they appear to have been a satin black as well.
