Perhaps get your hands on some sample and check them out against your black car? Only you can decide which looks better...

woah, i'd been curious how it'd look on a 5th gen - can't believe none of us had seen this before!

Paint starts out glossy and loses luster with the addition of titanium dioxide, a chalky material. Flat finishes have the most, making them very low on reflectivity. That means they mask flaws in irregular surfaces, but they scuff easily. The best place for flat paint is on the ceiling, where less reflection is a plus. But mattes can enhance the richness of a deep color when used on a wall.

Best explination I could find. It refers to house paint but it makes sense for all paints.

IMO, cars = gloss paint, nothing else should be used
