Painting W203 Grill right now need opinion please

Hey I removed the plasti dip on my front grill which I liked a lot and I want it to be permanent now. I have the classic grill, and I'm wondering matte black or gloss(shiny) black ? I taped to exterior chrome of the grill and painting everything inside the outer outer chrome portions, like I did with the plasti dip. I was just wondering your opinion on which one matte black or gloss black. I've already done three coats of primer+matte black its a all in one can, now wondering should I top it off with a gloss black?
