Well I just asked the just about the same question and got as much of a responce. I can tell you what I've used on my last 2 paint jobs. I've uses Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy (Ultra-Hard Enamel) And once it's dry ( takes about a week to fully hardden by my guess) The stuff is hard a shit to do anything to. Unclusing sand off. And It will bring to a mirror finish.

Here check out this linkage. They both used Laqures I think thou.

Warning. Do not use primer with enamels. If you read the can it says so.
