When sanding the clear it will be a white residue...if you see colour on the sandpaper, you're into the basecoat.
To re-clear you can get 2K clear coat in a rattle can - it has the activator in it, and the UV protection needed. Cans of the 2K clear are @ $35 each.
There's a ton of DIY clearcoat repair videos on YT if you want to tackle this project.
If you feel this above your skill level, a body shop can blow in your hood and top lid easy. They will be able to match the paint codes. Even a Maaco shop could do this for you.

Its a metallic flake paint. Any sanding in the base coat will stand out like a sore thumb.
If you did do this you'd need to put on a control coat of base then re-clear, but at that point its better to just do the normal two base coats and one control coat.
