Repainting a car for Aerodynamics?

I really need to repaint my car.... 30yo paint... crappy 1st attempt at repainting/bodywork/restoration on half the car... so I'm wondering about any effect on aerodynamics

Thoughts:

1. Non-Smooth/Matte Surface
2. Glossy Surface (I'm thinking this may be the least aerodynamic)
3. Textured Surface (i.e. GOLFBALL )
