EOS Rebel SL2/EOS 200D finish?

Sorry for the trivial-sounding question, but I wondered what type of finish the black version  of the SL2/200D has?  Is it the fine sandpaper-like polycarbonate of most of the other Rebel models such as the T6i/750D, T6s/760D and SL1/100D, or that smooth, velvety soft-touch silicone paint that was used on the T3/1100D?  Don't know if they carried on with that finish  for the T5/1200D and T6/1300D, but in one video review of the SL2, it looked worryingly like it had that soft touch finish.  I'm checking because every product I've had with such a finish, it's either peeled or gone sticky, eventually.  As you might gather, I haven't been able to check one in-store - I appreciate there's always the white or silver version as an alternative though.
