Has anyone worked with opaque black acrylic? I see alot of projects using translucent but not opaque.

I was looking at mcmaster for some and they have two different kinds of opaque black acrylic. Cast and kydex T. I know about cast but I have never heard of Kydex T. Anyways my question is does black opaque acrylic have a gloss finish to it or is it a muted black? I am looking for a gloss black finish.

I know black delrin would be a preferable structural material, however, it isn't glossy and as far as I know can't be heat bent.
