Thanks Norm and thanks again for all of your advice and generosity. I use iso-free 2 pak clear, but supply is an issue at present, as they can't get it... it's back to regular acrylic at present which normally gains its sheen with wet sanding and buffing. I have used a retarder in it encourage it to flatten out and leave a nice finish off the gun, it will dull off eventually as remaining solvent dissipates, so I'll need to buff it but that can wait.
