Did you use the gloss black engine enamel and then the gloss clear on top? Or did you do the flat black enamel then the gloss clear?

Looking at the different options here:

Thanks!!
Thanks and yes, I used the gloss black VHT Engine Enamel and then Gloss Clear on top. I sanded the chrome surface and did 4 coats of the black gloss with about 10 min dry time in between coats and then applied 4 coats of Clear coat of the same brand.

One tip is to spray lightly at first and move the spray can fairly quickly so that you aren't over spraying certain spots. smooth consistent movements is key for a nice paint job.
