Default Recommended way to paint a valve cover?

I'm working on my B series valve cover currently. I have everything masked off, and two coats of primer sealer right now on it. I want it to come out as shiny as i possibly could make it.

I will have a specific honda color mixed for the valve cover paint color. I could get it in an spray can, but if i do this, what would i use to clear it to make it shine a bit more?

Or should i have someone i know with a paint gun, spray it, then clear it?

What would you recommend? Any products? Any type of paint to use, or not to use?
