3M : The RED one. Photo mount. Costs (a lot) but this is good stuff. (used in graphic design)

Good paper is coated and at least 180. You may have to look for heavier, but cost rises. I'd use an online printer if I were you.

For the colors, you won't be able to have the right color except by try and error. (common problem on the graphic chain of production)

For the seal, I'd try those for art, in spray, but with the first sprays really really light : You don't want to wet the paper. Let dry between any applications. You'll have to do it a lot : 7 or 8 times. Last applications can be heavier. The main problem, is where the paper is cut, the seal will enter there.

Alright so I believe Super 77 is the "Red" one.

I'm not sure what the 180 is you're referring to.  I've heard of coated paper but all I have is an ink jet printer, would that suffice?  I don't have 2 weeks to send a job out to an online printer, unless you were referring to a place to order the paper.  Printing at home would also be easier for trial and error.

So glossy seal it is then, will make them shiny like the other pieces.

The 180 is the paper density in grams/m2. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_density

Standard paper for copiers/printing is usually 80 gm/m2

Water is indeed the essential ingredient of life, because without water you can't make coffee!

Yeah. 180 gr. But 240 is better.

Usually, online print arrives in 3-4 days.

This is the spray you're looking for.

Do you have a service you could recommend?  It gets rid of the trial and error test for color, but it's close enough for me.
