For yours... you could potentially polish up the current matte clearcoat rather than going again.
The shininess of a paint finish is simply down to the sheen of the clearcoat (unless you're using direct gloss products).

Yeah so I got one of these frames, it's hard to see in the picture but it's got quite a dry matte to it, I love the frame/break-away aspect etc it's just the paint job that bothers me a bit...not sure what is best to do. Maybe I just need to convince myself to like it :)
Hard to see in pics but you get an idea...

Been wondering the same thing. I've got a frame that has this matte like look that I might want to clearcoat to get some shine to it, but haven't been sure what could work. But I think @privatepatterson said something about using the same brand as the paint, something to do with chemical composition etc.
Also, repainting my fixie with spray.bike stuff but they seem to make a clear coat...
