I'm sure someone else will know for 100% certain, but I have one original one now and had a second and both were a slight satin black. Not sure if they had aged to that or not though...the insides are between what I'd call satin and semi-gloss....

The restored consoles I've seen all have been a semi-gloss so that's what I've been using on mine. The originals I have look almost chalky/dirty when placed next to one I've restored in a semi-gloss.
