i thought the purpse of clear coat is to make it glossy. but if like you said, add the clearcoat and resand down to the level of the paint. Wouldnt that be getting rid of the glossiness?

i just had recently ruined the paint of my front bumper too. its much worse than those rock chips of yours. The whole surface is jagged and there are some parts where i can see the black plastic underneath. its terrifying to look at.
would this DIY work on that?
i have read many DIY where they need to use primer, rubbing compound, etc. how come you dont use them?
also one more thing. would spray painting work better in my case? or in any case?

thanks.
