F57 Beltline Blackout: Matt or gloss?

I'm going to have mine painted, so it lasts a long time.
- But I'm having a really hard time deciding. Seems to me that the convertible top is matt, as are the fender treatments, but other black parts are glossy.
Ugggh.

What say you?

Most go gloss, Matt could make you different.

I like the matte black trim kits because they match the weather strip
