You can, it depends what you expect in terms of finish quality. You must also consider that there is not much difference in price when it comes to spraying paint and clear coat then clear coat only you still have to sand paint buff the only difference is maybe one or two hours clear coat needs to be removed to apply new clear coat, clear coat also take a great amount of work after drying to achieve oem finish. The answer is yes however having gone that far might as well refresh it unless you just find the clear does not suit your vehicle but that is unlikely.

88 Chevy Celebrity paint clear coat pealing very bad is there a quick fix?
You could try sanding the clear coat off where it is pealing then re-coat with new seal coat, I am not sure just how well that would work. Of course the best thing would be to take it to a paint shop and have it professionally repainted. I can tell you from experience that if you do nothing the paint under the seal coat will deteriorate to primer and it will rust through that.
Are shop rags abrasive?
If you mean the average mechanics shop towels, yes they can scuff a fresh clear coat paint job. And to make things worse, if your rags were provided by a service you can get rags that have been at a machine shop and could have metal shavings stuck in them.

If it's a fine or shallow scratch, you could try buffing it out with polishing compound, if it's deeper (can you catch your nail on it?) you would be better off taking it to a auto paint shop where they will do it for you for a small price.

Is there a simple and cheap way to fix clear coat on trunk?
The only way I know of( which is how a body shop would do it) is this: Obtain a inexpensive paint gun and rent a small compressor. Mask off area. Scuff entire trunk with a scotch-brite pad. Wipe down area to be painted with a wax and grease remover. Spray a tack coat of clear urethane on it wait 20 minutes then spray a second heavier coat. Stand back and admire the shine. If peeling you can scrape it off with a razor blade. Sand the remaining paint with 400 grit. Sand/feather the edges that don't scrape off. "Clean" and add 3 coats (progressively more each time) of Clear. There is an item sold in spray cans called "Peel"at paint shops but it will remove the paint too.

If I'm filing a lead metal toy figure should I be concerned about handling the lead?
Not if you take precautions. Wear gloves, work in a well-ventilated area and/or wear a mask, and clean up after yourself. Take the lead filings to a tire shop where they recycle lead wheel weights and give it to them. They'll get a good laugh, but you'll have done the right thing. Don't forget to paint or otherwise coat the toy afterwards to seal the lead in. There is clear coat if you don't want paint.
Spice Up Your Car With A New Coat of Paint?
In today's age of shrinking budgets, buying a new car may not be an option. Don't despair. Car owners can spice up their vehicle by giving it a new coat of paint. The cost of auto painting can range anywhere from $250 to $5,000 or more, depending on what is involved. Will it be a touch-up paint job, or a complete color change? How much repair work will need to be done before painting? One way to save on the cost of auto painting is to do it yourself. For those who have limited time, or who are not technically inclined, however, it may be smarter to let a professional do the job. The first rule when considering a professional job is to shop and compare. A word-of-mouth recommendation is the best. If that is not an option, check with several auto body shops , preferably at least three. When comparing quotes, make sure the work agreed to is identical for each shop. Other things to consider that affect the price of an auto paint job include the type of paint used and the number of coats that will be applied. Is it flat, gloss, satin or metallic? Ask the dealer whether a primer coat will be applied under the base coat. Another option is whether a clear coat will be applied on top of the base coat. A clear coat has ultraviolet blockers, which will add to the life of the paint job. It also adds to the cost. Ask the dealer how many times the parts will be painted. Many dealers remove the doors, paint them while off the vehicle, then rehang them and repaint the entire vehicle. An important part of having a dealer do the work is the shop's warranty. A warranty of at least three years is recommended; five is preferred. In order to attract business, some shops may allow the car owner to do some of the prep work. If the dealer agrees, be sure and ask how this will affect the warranty.
