Flat black would look good. If your painting it yourself with a rattlecan then flat black does seem like the easier way to go. If your having the bodywork painted at a shop then its worth going with black and a glossy clearcoat.

Krylon Semi-Flat Black. I've had good results as long as it isn't too cold. Looks like a black velvet painting if you do it right. Then you just need to airbrush Elvis on there...

I think black velvet and the cheseburger, muttin-chop, white jumpsuit, fatter than hell Elvis go good together. The young Elvis didn't look as gaudy and cheesy, which is more consistent with black velvet paintings...:pinch:

I would recommend Duplicolor semi-gloss in the 1200 degree paint, it smooths out nice and will stand up better to chemicals.
