Default What color for steering knuckle?

I am fixing the front suspension, and wanted to know if the steering knuckle is a satin black or gloss black from the factory.

If I recall, originally the finish was a gloss black. It tended to flake off in big pieces as they aged.

Just before they became NLA I got a few in for customers that looked like a flat black though.

I think it was originally a gloss as well, same as the strut housings.
