not sure of a 100% restoration color but I dont like a glassy black look under the hood,I prefer the semi flat also over flat.The semi doesnt seem to be overpowering.

Should be a semi gloss to egg shell- some places list it as underhood black, either way definitely low gloss paint is correct

I think GM used a semi-gloss or semi-flat. I am going semi-gloss because over time the shine will fade as everthing does and the semi-flat looks a little too dull to me.

not much difference in the 2 semi's , but if you want it to look somewhat original, don't go glossy.

i got some basic single stage black paint for mine when i painted it, and then got some flattener, mixed in a little flattener and i think it turned out a bit glossier than stock but not to noticeable if your not paying much attention
