1960s 1959-61 Bucketseat paint question

Were the hardbacks painted gloss or satin? I've seen both examples online however don't know which one came standard. Were they the same sheen all those years?

Been following Cadillac since a kid. To my knowledge the paint on the interior had a dull sheen to it. Per posts on this forum it's not made anymore. The gloss is not original per my memory. Satin finish is probably as close to original as you will get. Another option would be semi gloss paint and a 2000 grit wet sanding. I  see gloss at car shows but not look right.

Thanks Mike. That idea of 2000 wet would be a good idea. I'll spray a test panel and see what that looks like.
