Default Making flat black rims glossy?

I posted this on a different thread, but since it got closed, I guess I'll have to make a new one for my question:
Whats the best way to take flat black rims nd make them glossy? Just several coats of clear? I bought some rims and stripped them down to paint them black, but turns out they were black underneath the paint, so all I need to do now is make them glossy. Thanks for your input!

try clear coating them or just spray them with gloss black paint.

Thanks all.

Yes I was serious, because every time I use clear coat it doesn't come out glossy. But in any case, I got a great deal on powdercoating and went that route. Thanks again!
