In my experience just about every underbody part that was black from the factory should be a semi gloss black.

If you are looking to put yours back to stock looking. The front LCA's were unpainted, the sway bar is flat or semi-gloss black. At least they were on my RS & Iroc. Sway bar links come unpainted.
