Exactly what you need to do.

The truck pictured is a solid color. That is to say there isn't any metallics or pearl in it.
A single stage urethane is a great choice as it's durable and dries shiny when sprayed. You can color sand and buff it too. No need for a clear coat on this kind of paint, but you can ask them to apply 2 coats of clear for a deeper shine if you want, but it's not required.

Check out my build thread (link below in my signature) for some images of a single stage urethane that's been cleared.
