Default Paint Colour Question: BA GTP Ford Badge.

Hey guys, excuse me as I am trying to get a wider audience on this small question (Double Posted from FPV Section)

Panel beater is just touching up a few items on the car and needed to know what finish to paint the badge holder/bezel on the front grille for a BA GTP mk1. Is it:

1: High Gloss Black
2: Semi Gloss Black
3: Flat/Matt Black

I don't think it is painted, just black plastic - it's lightly textured, so I guess if you were to paint it, a satin finish would be the go.
