flat black looks like it should be used on military equipment like a stealth bomber or something of that sort
 
please do gloss. there is this kid in my school that owns a new mustang and it is flat black. its to ugly and to add ontop of that its a V6.
 
Depends an what kind of money you want to spend and who is shoot the paint. If you want to go cheap then flat (doesn't show the imperfections as much). Gloss, if not painted by a pro will show the dirt and defects. I always hated shooting black. Sand and buff, sand and buff, etc.

That one is satin. Which is a slightly glossed flat. Still rather dull.
