Yeah, a clearcoat would deff bring out some gloss. But lets see them on the car and that will be the true test. I am in the same boat as you. I have just started painting things in my engine bay (lid, lower airbox and that ugly gray thing just behind the bumper) kinda nervous about the outcome. It is my first time painting stuff too, but staying positive. Good Luck

Clear-coat them and you will yield better results.
