i highly recommend once u painted it. to laquer it. it may be shiny now, wait till u stain it with a little oil or grime, u wont get off in a hurry, with laquer it wipes off alot easier and also protects the paint from the heat and grime

was realy expecting to laquer but its come up better than first expected realy so we decided to leave it 
looks 10 times better than before so i am happy
Adam it was primered then rubbed back with sand paper (1200) then sprayed up and rubbed back very lightley wiv same (1200) then we used G3 and finally polish to get the shine back up and it looks spot on for our first go
