I don't have a GameCube, but based on this one picture it looks like the original is textured plastic that reflects a little light:

If this picture of "low lustre" is accurate, I think you want it more glossy:

Sooo ... my vote is "3. Satin", I guess, maybe "4. Semi-Gloss". GingerOfOz's full gloss paint on the clamshell GameCube video make full gloss less appealing with how much it shows fingerprints.

Sure you don't want to wait for more people to respond? I'm just some rando who doesn't know paints or have a GameCube.

You may want to DM SparkleBear about which paint gloss level was chosen for this build. Also, 7673 from mypaintcolor.com looks lighter/redder than you might expect, as shown on back piece from the build:

Dude you're awesome. That is good to know. I will probably look around some more before I decide on where to get the paint.
