Alot of the paint shop's now can mix you up a couple of rattle can's of auto clearcoat for pretty short money. My local paint shop does it for around 12.00 a can. That includes the cost of the can, labor to fill it, and, the cost of the clearcoat. Just a warning if the paint shop doesn't have any open clear to mix up. You will have to buy atleast a half pint. (Hence a little more money per can) Good Luck.
      As for you not having the shine that you wanted out of the can. Did you seal the primer before you painted it? If so, did you wipe the parts down with Prep-Sol, or, a equivalent before painting them? Just wondering what you did for prep work. Prep work it so vital to getting the results you want.
      the one thing I do know is that the (rattle) can thay make up for you are batter then over the counter stuff "but" it still dose not have hardener in it so it will not stand up to gass or oil for long.
