I'd do a satin/semi gloss, whatever you want to call it. Gloss looks like you pulled it off a black car and slapped it on and a true flat just doesn't look right. A satin finish will look like an accent piece like I think it should.

The post above about the color you're painting the car would be spot on IMO but I'd have to see them personally to say fire sure.
