Default Seat Backs Gloss or Semi-Gloss?

I am about to paint the black molded seat backs in a 73 coupe. Is the finish a gloss or semi gloss? Using a spray that works with plastic.

Semi-gloss is what I go for...glossy is just to severe against the seat cover.

That's my thought as well. They are gloss now and it just doesn't look right. Rustoleum sells a spray that leaves a nice finish on the molded plastic. Takes 5-7 days to harden completely, but well worth it.
