so, semi gloss or satin, there is a difference,satin is just a shade heavier than pure matt and doesnt have a shine,semi-gloss doesnt shine as bright as gloss but has a shine,i know its hard to explain,i have one to restore, but i want to do the colour right,ones ive seen on ebay look semi-gloss,im not usually fussy on this sort of thing,but just out of interest i would like to know

It looks like a dull gloss so I assume it’s semi gloss
I’ve done them satin then give a little rub with g3 compound to take some of the shine off
Your call mate 👍
