You want full gloss. Note also that there are three versions of Alpine white. Make sure your painter uses the right on if you want it original. One is very white, the others creamier. Google bmw motorcycle paint codes

Steve I just went with Arctic White (albeit in pearlescent) - Mick the Paint did the job for me

(The yellowish tinge is a lighting artefact)
