Question for owners with Black painted chassis

Hello All !
My first post here. I`m helping my dad out with his 1965 Elan. My question is for those owners who have/had their Elan chassis in the original Black from the factory. After checking out some of the older posts, i understand that Black paint over a red oxide primer of sorts started on the S4, that the earlier Elans had the chassis in some red oxide color (like red primer maybe ?). The chassis we presently have is already primered in Grey. So we decided between a color closest to the original red oxide ones, or black. We decided on black. So on to my question : Was the black glossy, semi-glossy, or flat ? Thanks !
