Tailgate band black paint sheen

Looking for your thoughts on what the black paint "sheen" should be for the GM trim and the tailgate band.
I taped off the band and painted it with "Krylon Satin Black" and will be replacing the woodgrain and letters.

I just painted it yesterday but I'm not sure if the sheen will "calm" down (shine wise)? I don't really want flat black but I really don't want a sheen either. My thoughts are not to draw attention to the trim with shiny black paint but will flat black hold up?

Your thoughts on what GM meant for the black paint on the trim to be? I don't want to removed all the tape until its completed to liking.
IF I remember correctly, I bought a OEM GMC front grill many years back (when they were still mfg them) and the black paint seemed more of a flat sheen (much less sheen than the Satin I just painted).

Thanks for your replies in advance!
