Modern paints are pretty stable and don't have such a great tendency to fade over time. You didn't mention what you were using..oils or acrylics.
I can tell you what I do... for my oil paintings I used a half and half mixture of Beckers Semi-gloss varnish and linseed oil. The result is a satin finish.
I also used just straight linseed oil on some my oil paintings on masonite. Very shiny and juicy... and sometimes I like that a lot. It depends on the image and what you are trying to comunicate.
You can also get a spray can of fixative in matt or gloss. Use the permanent sort and not the "workable" fixative.
Best of luck to you!

Your way in the wrong forum. Maybe someone here can send Thor over with his hammer, but that's about it.
