Clear coat repair? Repaint?

[nautiquelfe]

Hey is it possible to just repaint the clear coat? Can you spot spray it or do you have to do the entire panel? I just got home from a local body shop and the price seemed awful high to me. The quote was for removing hood, sanding, stripping, repaint, new clear coat, and sanding/buffing, price was $490. I'm sure this is a fair price for all the work they were planning to do, but im not able to pay that at the moment. I was hoping to have the clear coat resurfaced instead, if I'm able to find a shop to do it. I also asked about painting the interior surfaces. He seemed a bit leary of it. Said it would peel away after a week. I'm gonna call around a bit and see what else is available around here. Keep the comments coming guys, I can't stand to see the blemishes on such a prominent location.
