Default clear powdercoat

I want to clear powdercoat my new oil pan; glassbeaded timing cover/valleycvr/valve covers in hope of maintaining the fresh " cast aluminum" looks. Does anyone have any experience in this? I called the local powdercoater and he says he has "flat clear" & "semi gloss clear" Which would be best for the "new" look I want to maintain?

Default powder coating

just make sure you pre-heat your parts first as not to get outgassing of the parts!
