you can clearcoat over the finish to get u the gloss you want. might even recommend UV clearcoat.

i recommend doing it in 2 steps (base coat + clear coat) so that you can add more clear over the black and wetsand/polish it real nice and flat (shiny) after it dries. GL
Thanks for the info Kenchan!
Funny part is I believe I actually already have a can the low-gloss engine enamel paint, I use it to repair little pieces of rim rash. It is the one that is heat resistive up to 500F

Cool I don't even have to get any paint at that point. Can just go tear up some trash bags and newspaper and get to work lol
