Opinions, please

I have a black Carrera with a roll bar that is being painted gloss black to match the body. Monday I'm taking my door handles in to be powder coated. I can't decide if I should go with a semi-gloss or have them done in body color a la 993. Has anyone attempted to paint the Carrera style door handles body color and how did it come out? In any color other than black I would not be considering this, but on a black car I'm thinking it may look good. Any thoughts/pics would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Personally I would go with satin powder coat as it'll be less likely to show any wear or scratches.

I have a guards red targa and simply painted my outer door handles with satin finish then baked them (3 coats and sanding between first 2). Used a light polish and they have a semi-gloss/satin appearance.
