Re: painting my roof
you can only lacquer it if the paint it designed to be lacquered.
from what you describe with the paint you use being gloss, i would say no you can't lacquer it.
to get a decent shine you will need to buff and polish it.. but make shure there is enough paint on roof before you do it or you can burn through.

Re: painting my roof
most paints you can put a clearcoat over it should say on the tin ...see with it been a single stage paint you may only be able to use a "rattle can" claer coat as they are also single stage
if you post the name of the paint i may be able to help more
