VCT tile installation question

I ordered black and white Armstrong VCT tile for the garage. I'm going to do a checkered flag pattern install. My question is regarding the top vs. the bottom of the tile. These are commercial tiles so there is a flat/dull side and a shinier side. When removing the tiles from the box with the " this side up " in the up position the tiles come out of the box with the flat/dull side up. So I assume I have to flip every tile to have the shiny side up ? Or just flip the box over ?
Now onto the install. Do I have to do a quadrant chalk line or can I just start in a corner and work my way out ? I haven't installed VCT tiles in a long time so any tips are appreciated.
