That's awesome enough in my book lol. Here's me being too lazy to use the topcoat I got for my MG Wing and ZZ. I just watch the panel liner slowly fade and weep
I got a can of Mr. Hobby matte top-coat off of Amazon, but I haven't used it yet (cause I'm lazy lol)
I couldn't recommend panel lining enough, though. It's easy and a huge difference. I use fine-line Gundam Markers ($10-$15 on Amazon) and just do a basic job on each limb before final assembly. You only really need three: grey marker for white surfaces (black is too dark unless you want the model to look cell-shaded, which can be cool), black marker for blue, black, and other dark surfaces, and a brown marker for red and yellow surfaces.
I'm terrible with artistic hobbies like modeling, but I was actually shocked at the improvement that panel lining makes. Bonus is that you can do it at any time. My first kit was a HG Strike and it was okay, but I panel lined it a year later and it was good enough to move to the front of the shelf haha

What do you use for top coat just curious? I haven't tried panel lining yet, but was thinking about doing it with the two I made.
