Default Gauge bezel
I am thinking about repainting my 69 corvette center gauge bezel, does anyone know what sheen was the original black paint that was used? Thanks guys for any help.

I painted stuff semi gloss and always thought it was too shiny. Then I did some research and learned about semi flat. In my opinion it's a better match.

When refinishing the ashtray door I used ordinary semi-gloss black Krylon and rubbed it 000 steel wool. It's a perfect match.
