Gloss or Matt Black, That is the Question

I'm looking to change my side grilles, centre of the front grille and also changing all the lettering from silver to black, what's the general consensus Gloss or Matt?

When Land Rover do "black pack" its always gloss black.

Remember paintwork looks duller when dirty.
Therefore Gloss would look like Satin & Satin would look like Matt .... until you wash it again.

With wheels, this is amplified with brake dust.

Gone Gloss black on all my bits. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
