1) You wet-sand it with 600, 1000, 1200. Then buff it with a wool pad and some heavy rubbing compound like 3M Super Duty Rubbing Compound. Then come back with a product like Finesse-It II or Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze with a black foam pad.
2) You wet-sand it with 600, then clear the car.
3) You wet-sand it with 600, then basecoat/clearcoat the car.

I say you have three basic options for making it shiny.
1) You wet-sand it with 600, 1000, 1200. Then buff it with a wool pad and some heavy rubbing compound like 3M Super Duty Rubbing Compound. Then come back with a product like Finesse-It II or Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze with a black foam pad.

3) You wet-sand it with 600, then basecoat/clearcoat the car.

If you just wanted an outside scuff and shoot of clearcoat I would charge around $300 plus materials. That would be a light coat, followed by two heavier coats. I'm sure someone will do it cheaper. I'm just stating my price.

Are you guys sure clear coat will stick to enamel?
You can always lightly wetsand a small area, buff it out and then use a glaze compound. 3m Glaze is what cheap detailers or car dealers use to make a paint shiney for about a month or two. It hides a lot of small imperfections
