I wasn't happy with the gloss level on my engine paint either so I sprayed a clear coat (gloss) over the top and it made the paint really shinny! I couldn't get a perfect match to the original evinrude but got pretty close...I'm sure your work is better than mine though! FYI, I used automotive custom tinted aerosol paint from Oreilly's. I think I spent about $50 total so can't really complain too much anyway. Zinc Chromate primer was the most expensive part at $14 for the super large can. Used two cans of paint and two of clear. Didn't repaint the lower plastic shroud...although in hindsight I should have done it at the same time.
