Here's the process I like to use for metallic finishes:
- sand surface smooth
- dust coat of gloss black
- wet coat of gloss black
- medium coat of metallic paint
- medium coat of Aqua Gloss clear

I like using lacquers, like Alclad. They have one of the few clear coats I've used that doesn't dull the metal finish.
