Gloss or Matt Black

My 83 T\A is Spectra Red, around the lower section to the sill, its black, should this be a gloss black?
And same with the mirrors and boot spoiler, they should be black originally, but matt or gloss?

Thanks if you can help.

The bottom of the car below the "stripe" decal is gloss black.

The mirrors and rear spoiler are semi-gloss black.

Thanks for heads up.
I was fairly sure, but its too late after its been painted.
Thanks for saving me the hassle of repainting.
