clear coat repair

[Jason Kohls]

I think I know the answer to this but is it possible to repair
clearcoat peels without stripping down and respraying the body
entirely?  I've read that people have had success with spraying
clearcoat in a container and applying several coats carefully but they
never mentioned the size/extent of the damage.
I have a good quarter-sized bubble that's split down the center on the
front left bumper cover and a nice 1x2 inch gash on the roof near the
antennae and I'd like to seal them as best as I can.  I'm not
expecting a miracle -- I'd just like to prevent further damage and
keep the paint underneath safe from the elements.

TIA!
