I have been sanding , and ready to paint tomorrow. I want to do something a little different. She is black already, so I was thinking combing Flat and gloss. IE: Hood Gloss, with lower side and center in flat, flat rockers and flat roof, everything else in gloss. Anyone else ever seen something like this or have any suggestions? thanks

I'd do the hood flat, to cut glare. Maybe do flat on the raised "field" sections, and gloss the center and sides. Post Pics!
I would try Satin/Gloss combinations, or Flat/Semi-Gloss. Seems like flat/glass would look too far apart if that makes any sense. Also test how the paints combine. I used flat and semi-gloss black when I camo'd my XJ, and despite using the same brand and type (only difference being finish) the paints didn't combine well.

if youre feelin froggy, do the roof a lighter color to reflect heat. (depending on where you live)

Get Krylon BBQ paint. It's the best stuff I have found... it covers good and looks great, has a lot of resiliance, along with a nice satin look.
here are a few of my jeeps I have painted with it.
