Is the clear coat crap from a spray can, or are you doing it properly?

Are you sure that whatever you purchased was gloss?

Some clear coats are sensitive to the type of thinners they're mixed with and if you use the wrong one it can cause problems.

Have you cut/polished it yet?

Ok, the can is your problem. Also, as you're using a can, I assume you've never sprayed before?

to get it glossy, your final coat has to be wet. E.g. your earlier coats might be light so you dont' get runs. But for the final one, to get it glossy, it has to be wet such that it almost runs.

I've done a few interior parts with cans, but I wouldn't dare do a bar or exterior panel myself. It'll look shit.

My motto has always been that , if I'm going to do something, I do it right. If I can't afford to do it properly, I either don't do it, or save up until I have enough money.

You painted your car in Arcrylic ? Why yes Arcrylic whens theres 2 pact?

Arcrylic is a bad choice, enamel would have been better. 2pac is the go great shine out of the gun not to mention better finish.
