Default Question on restoring paint

My front bumper has bad bug damage, like they never washed the car. Its only the front bumper/mirror but i already repainted the mirror with trim paint. I was wandering if a new couple of layers of clearcoat would get rid of the holes.

Thanks
cody

youre probably just better off getting it repainted. Clearcoat isnt gonna fill in holes and rockchips, just make them more noticeable

i said bug damage, like its ONLY the clear pealing in little circles, buggg damage. But still you think i should just get it repainted?
