Hi,
You can use the products used for car´s paint finish.
Try to get the professional product. Best results using two components version;
the base and the hardener.
Normally they use a "paint gun" but it is not mandatory, you can use a hand
brush.
You will get same shiny finish and durable as cars, quite bright and strong
protection. Good even under Sun, etc.
