you can spray anything over almost any type of existing paint if you apply a seal coat first. A 2K epoxy is probably the best to seal the vehicle with then you can put whatever you want on top of it.

read up on spraying a sealer coat, usually w/epoxy its a slightly thinned version of full strength epoxy 10 - 15% acetone reduced, with that applied you can then walk away for quite awhile & not worry about surface rust occurring which I'd think in your area could be a real problem. you can do filler work on top of the sealer as well. regardless of what you do - read a LOT before doing anything, you'll be happier with your result if you do.

the clear is a polyurethane - see tech sheet - probably fairly decent stuff.

If you paint with Lacquer, it will NOT be shiny. But then it can be buffed out to a superior shine. It is a favorite of old-time show cars.

Do not spray lacquer over the more common enamel or vice-versa.

Enamel sprays on and dries with a shiny finish. Less work. Lasts longer.

follow application instructions (tech sheets)for whatever type & brand of paint your planning on using. Forget advice from people who haven't a clue & suggest off the wall idea's that you dont understand.

If you use lacquer it can be buffed all by itself to a shine I believe. Some pretty decent painting advice & discussion here - read a lot.
