Default calliper paint, please help

hey everyone, i know i got kind of a stupid question but here is my problem, so i finally have time to go to the store to pick up some paint inorder to paint my callipers black and i go thier and i see that there is two different kinds of paint, there is the glossy kind and then there is the dull kind, so i was wondering for those of you have have painted your calliers black which one did you buy, the glossy kind or the other duller kind, and which one worked the best for you, in terms or not chipping and everything, i would appreciate any input i can get.

Thanx
Neema

Go with the G2 paint, its glossy and holds up very well..........$45 for the kit which includes paint, hardener, caliper cleaner and a brush.
