Finishes?

What´s a satin finish?
I have a Miller bass, Sunburst. Is the 3 tone sunburst a satin finish?

Well i used to have (recently sold) a Hohner B2a bass in "metallic satin' finish and it was like a grey/silver type color. Im guessing the sunburst is not a satin color.

well every colour can be satin, satin just doesn't reflect as much light as the gloss does, theres probably more too it.

High gloss finish - very reflective and shiny
Gloss finish - reflective and shiny
Satin - less reflective
Matte - you get the point?
