OK well I went with a duplicolor truck/suv gloss black. When I first sprayed it on it looked glossy but then it dried kinda flat. I had some Krylon crystal clear clear coat but I test sprayed it on the upper part of the panel and it put a milky looking film over the black so I stopped using that. Sounds like a couple of y'all had good results with the duplicolor gloss clear, ill give that a shot and see if it makes it more glossy.

do what i did, and save yourself even that much hassle.....buy a panel off a black car. I got one off of a black SS, and I didn't even have to hassle with emblems...they were already on and ready to go!!

Here are some pics of my first berger off of a black z-28...Later I found an SS one and sold this one. they're rather cheap too. under $100...or WAY less.
