Vintage YM Black Paint

[richriddle]

Is the factory black color around the floor area for the Vintage YM USA model tractors more a flat or matte black color? It appears to be a flat black but someone keeps insisting on matte black which looks more like a dark grayish color to me. Thanks.

I would call it pure black, no hint of gray.

And 'satin', slight gloss. Definitely not matte black.

Here are some photos I've posted over the years that illustrate color. Some YM186D, some YM240. Pardon the dirt!
