did you put any kind of clear on after you spray painted it or did the paint just show up that shiny..looks real good

well he probably used gloss spray paint which is supposed to come out shiney all the time, and does if you spray it right.

exactly what i used.  when spraying, spray at an angle to the metal, not straight on.  spreads the spray fan out a little

One time I was goofing around with an inner fender I had and painted it with low gloss black. I had bought a bottle of some stuff from Wally World made by Kit. I think it was called Scratch Ex or Scratch Out. Anyway, it was a scratch remover. It comes in a yellow bottle. After a few days of drying time I went over the fender with it not expecting much. I could not believe how smooth and shinny it turned out. And that was over low gloss paint. 
 You might try some of that on an inconspicuous spot before you do the wax thing. Just thinking...

well as far as that goes you can wetsand and buff, using rubbing compound, machine polish, then hand glaze and/or swirl remover followed by wax, alot of work but talk about shine, you'll get show car shine if done right. Not sure on how well it'll do on rattle cans though. I know the auto body supply mixed spray cans works great, since it's reg. spray gun paint in cans. You treat it as you would your reg. paint job.
