But what sort of paint to use?

Probably an oil based satin finish black - though try out the proposed
paint first on a piece of thin scrap ply to check that the lustre is
right. Then try it on a bare bit of the real wood preferably out of
sight so that if it does something strange it won't show.

It is surprisingly difficult to match a colour and surface finish at the
same time. Even allowing for black being nominally an absence of light.

A pretty good paint sprayer I know reckons black is the most difficult
colour to match or blend. I'd have thought it would have been white, but
apparently not.
