Ususally Tamiya has a system for labelling paints. Is the paint number in XF-** it is usually flat. Before painting, you could test the paint on a piece of the sprue to see if it is gloss or flat, and if it is flat, you could also add some clear gloss to the flat to help so that it will be more glossy than just pure flat.
