So...should I use flat black, semi flat, satin, or gloss for the convert. roof support bracing?

It's in the semi or satin range, I've no idea of the exact percentage gloss but would guess 60% - similar to other applications found on the car.  Sauron67MM on the TC site may know the correct mix as he's a body man with a lot of knowledge on finishes.
