Default Is Denim a matte or satin finish

Searched and couldn't find a clear answer, Is Denim a Matte or Satin finish.

From what ive read Matte is a flat dull finish and Satin has a little more shine to it.

What does Denim compare too?

Thanks.

My '11 SG was more satin. When I had my saddle bag lids (Hogtune) they sprayed them matte and they where flat compared to stock lids, resprayed using satin and dead on. Just my experience with my bike.
