Sam Sprays gloss lacquer on a hollow form that he had previously colored. He first seals the wood with a lacquer sanding sealer, applies a spray lacquer, then wet sands to 6000 grit- then finishes by buffing the surface to remove any fine scratches. Buffing can be used to "cut back" the high gloss finish.
The following video links cover in detail the process of coloring, sanding, buffing and spraying lacquer on a lathe-turned project:
