Popped to halfrauds as I fancied seeing how easy it was to spray something, I wasn't too bothered on an immaculate finish as I decided to spray the plastic around the door handles and the ashtray, started off with wet and dry, primer, paint and then lacquer, turned out quite well

not bad for a first effort mate, when i first attempted spraying i couldn't get a gloss finish, wasn't applying enough paint per layer so kept getting a satin look!

Have you rubbed them down and polished them? This will make a massive difference to the glossiness.
And they look smart apart from the door handle is a different silver to the bit you've painted, that would do my head in lol.
