Different paints brands, require different amounts of flattening base, so chose a good "quality" brand of paint to use, get some mixed at your paint shop, 100 ml or so, with the different amounts of flattening base added, spray out & decide.

Bat I am an amateur compared to most blokes on this forum, however I believe my engine bay is original factory and its a shitty gloss black (cause its old). If I was to paint my engine bay now (which I never will) I would definitely use Acrylic Lacquer gloss and leave it as it comes off the gun. From what I have learned its not satin and its nor GMH flat black. Hope this makes sense.
