First off, there is not enough info on the question at hand. Are you modeling a car before it hits the track for the season or after it has started? Is it a drag car, a road racer, a dirt or asphalt car?
I've lettered hundreds of race cars back in the day. I would say at least 99% of them had at least a decent gloss to them. Most of these were dirt modifieds and street stocks that were shiny when I lettered them. By the end of the season they might not have been so shiny.
I honestly think there is no correct answer to the question without more information.

I started on the ramps for the trike. Just a little sanding and paint and they will be done.
I used ribbed sheet for the rear tires as they need some traction. The ramp for the front tire is .030 and the edges of all three are finished with .040 x .060 square stock.
