Don't know if I really understand what you've done. Have you just sanded it and it's dull or have you got a dull finish after applying paint (and clear lacquer) ? First suggest you just polish an area with T-Cut then wax, this should sort out dulling due to 1500 grit wet or dry paper. Should also sort if it's new lacquer's that has dried dull. If any blue paint comes off with the T-Cut you've sanded back too far and gone through the clear top coat. In this case you may find just a re-lacquer will get you over it otherwise it's a proper re-paint job.
