Looks like a semi-gloss. Flat wouldn't show any highlights. Semi-gloss should be easier to clean, too.

Semi. Looks great. But be patient! That has zen-like patience all over it. You'll be glad you did it too. Spend a full weekend on it.

Graphite wheel paint comes semi-gloss. Without any clear coat it still shines a bit.
