painted vinyl shutters..did I use the correct paint?

Shenandoah, VA

We removed and painted our vinyl shutters over the weekend, using a 100% acrylic latex paint. They were painted the same as their original color, which is a deep green. Now I am reading where we should have used an acrylic and urethane mixed paint on the vinyl shutters. Do I have anything to worry about here? If I did use the wrong paint, can I simply coat the shutters with a clear polyurethane, either by brush, or spray can, or use some other clear coating? The 100% acrylic latex paint we used was a thick paint and dried fast. We gave each shutter 2 coats. It said on the label that it was good for vinyl siding (I would never paint vinyl siding!) It didn't mention vinyl shutters. I also didn't see anything about urethane listed as being one of the ingredient. Thanks.
