it's a flat or matte black finish, I got to play with them a couple of weeks ago and loved everything about them, a few nice improvements on an already great reel, the difference in the line lay is profound if you are familiar with the spools.... detents on the drag knob should help save some knobs from the drink and make adjusting irt feel easier, i'm pretty sure the threading changed as well...the finish reminded of the very early VS models so maybe a little retro look too....the improvements should satisfy the folks that found these things troublesome...casting distance felt improved with a neater line lay which makes sense
