clearing matte/flat

I would like to do a paint job with a matte/flat black base and kameleon type flames. My question is: Will the black still appear matte/flat if the entire paint job is clear coated, or will it be glossy like the flames?

The job would be all glossy. I think the best way to achieve this would be to do the following:

-get your black done with the matte finish,
-then layout your flames
-add another 1/8" inch fine line tape inside this
-spray your flames
-spray one coat of clear,
-then remove your extra 1/8" line
-add one more coat.
-Remove all tape immediately that outlines the flames so the clear "rolls" and does not dry to a hard edge.

This will keep the flames, you gloss, it also edge to a minimum, and you will also have your black matte finish.

This special trick is also used with van conversion places.
