satin black was the original black colour used on lucas starter motors and generators (And many other bits aswell but i dont know)

It isnt gloss black and it isnt flat black, somewhere in between.

And Anton I agree, it looks great :D

I agree.

A satin black finish will almost always look better than gloss. Being of a lower sheen it masks any imperfections to the applied media, giving a softer, yet deeper look.
