Default Touch up paint inquiry

Are the plastic parts,( ie. saddle bags and front fairing) high gloss or matte finish clear coat. I've found the paint codes for the touch up, but can't decide if it is high gloss or matte.

Thanks in advance

Just pick up the correct touch up at your local dealer for your bike, I think they run about 35.00 Mine was the White base coat and then the gold/pearl clearcoat in the other bottle. Along with some 3M rubbing compound and wax and you can't ever tell where you touched it up at.
