Correct Radiator Finish 1980

Guys I have a 1980 I am working on. What is the correct black finish for the radiator and support brackets. It looks like original was gloss or semigloss but hard to tell from paint deterioration

Thanks

Both the radiator and radiator support were semi-gloss black. However, they were not exactly the same semi-gloss black. There was just a slightly greater degree of glossiness to the semi-gloss black paint applied to the radiator that that used for the support and brackets. Keep in mind that the radiator, support, and attaching brackets were painted at their manufacturing source and there was not a common source for all of these parts. So, there was a slight amount of variation in the paint used by those manufacturing sources.
