Just painted trunklid... how to make shiny again?

I needed new paint on my roof, trunklid and rear bumper.

I'm a cheapass... so I bought some primer/paint/clear in rattlecans and decided to try repainting the trunklid first just to try painting for the first time.

The paint came out fine... couple of coats of primer, paint and clear and it looks good. I polished and waxed but it doesn't shine...

what gives? Do I need to wet sand again with 2000 grit then polish and wax?

For the roof and bumper I'll probably buy a paint gun and do it the right way... probably redo the trunk with factory paint.

Anyone? It looks better than big white nasty sunbaked blotches that were there before
