i believe it is satin black or possibly flat black. On a black car its the same color black as the car. That's all i've ever had is black iroc's so i have no idea all i can look at is my step moms 84 Z

My headlight pockets are a flat-finish black. Deff not the same as the rest of the cars, if i ever get to painting it, im painting the buckets teh same color. it looks ok if you do it on a black car

Flat black isn't the right color (Mine are flat black). Satin is the right finish. I'd prefer glass to flat. The flat is extremely difficult to keep clean.
