You guys helped me to decide on Cerokote for gun build but looking for advice on best black for rifle. It will be in its original wood stock semi gloss. I think gloss black may be to glossy not sure but had rifle in pic done in Cerokote color that is supposed to mimic gun blueing. I never cared for it my self. Most of the blacks say they are matte. Looking to be semi gloss. Is the Midnight color the one?

You can get a colour swatch sent free from Cerakote. Actual paint samples on metal.
 
From the samples I have at home Elite Blackout looks sort of like matt blueing.

Gloss blued Beretta on the left and matt finish M70 on the right.

As stated. SOCOM or midnight are the two my guy uses. He showed me a shotgun he did in midnight blue and I would have bet it was blued from 3 feet away.
