Question about using gloss topcoat!

I just brush-painted a styrene model with Tamiya German Grey, which is a very dark grey....my question is: After allowing this to dry for a week or so, and if I spray Tamiya Clear over it, will it end up being glossy?

Or will it settle on a kind of satin finish?

If I want a truly glossy sheen to it, do I absolutely have to first paint the model with a gloss paint first before I do the glossy topcoat?

Thanks in advance!
