Adding Shine to Paint

How would you add a shiny top coat to acrylic craft paint? I know I could get a high gloss paint, but that only comes in large quantities.

Mod Podge works, but sometimes it peels off or gets sticky in heat.

So if u want it to be permenant, I'd suggest Clear Glaze spraypaint. I get mine at walmart for like $3. And it protects it forever!
