high gloss , flat black does not look right on glossy balck .

Take the extra steps to bond to your current job, unless you will strip, new paint likes a course but smooth surface to last for years

gloss or semi-gloss will look good. The semi gloss will help to break the car up a little bit without making the trim standout.

Are you talking about the GT ground effects? If thats the case paint them gloss black, they will look really bad flat or semi-gloss.

Keep it all the same black... it'll look clean.
