Spraying clear on top of what's already there would never work. 1.) You'd be able to see right where all the bad stuff is, so it would look just as bad. 2.) The new coat of clear would peel off too. It's happening on my front bumper because whoever owned the car before me decided they were going to go cheap. The bumper looked bad when I bought it, and it looks a lot worse now. Trust me, you're better off just to pay the $300 and get all new paint and everything. It'll look tons better in the end anyway.
