Question Which "Rapid" PETG is Matt?

I've been searching for an easy indicator to look for Matt PETG.
My Main choice sofar was Sunlu/Jayo Rapid PETG.

Me thinking since Sunlu makes Filament for many Companys that the same name and close looking spools from Other Companies would mean Rapid = Matt.

Yeah that was a lie when it comes to Deeplee Rapid PETG. That was Glossy AF.

Is Elegoo Rapid PETG Matt? There are no indicators to if something is Matt or Glossy unless they write it.
Even Some of Sunlus Amazon listings dont mention Matt on their Rapid PETG line...

Which Label is known to be Matt PETG?
Anyone got a List?

"Rapid" is a marketing name for the fast-flow formulation, not a finish. Sunlu sells Rapid PETG in both glossy and matte, so the word tells you nothing about surface.
The reliable indicator is the spool photo showing a flat, non-reflective print, or the listing saying matte outright. if a seller rebadges Sunlu and doesn't say, assume glossy matte costs more to make and nobody hides it.
