LOL! That sentence is itself an oxymoron.
Satin black = Matte (as in NOT glossy)

Glossy = glossy
Matte = flat (ie NOT glossy)
Satin - semi glossy/semi flat (halfway between glossy and matte)

OP, excellent work! From someone who has been there himself. It is quite the project indeed. I went with a deep gray instead.
