On a lot of parts and structures, GM used a Satin Black [semi-gloss]. Air cleaners, battery trays, starters, P/S Pumps, fans, fender skirts, frames, etc.
Ford used a shiny full Gloss Black.

I'm pretty much satin all the way around, but the column will be gloss like it was. You threw me on satin/semi gloss, I think that's your way of saying somewhere in the ball park. Perhaps the air cleaners appear to have more sheen because of the gauge & smooth steel?
