From the picture it looks like the paint is on top of your paint, it should clay/buff out.

IIRC, you can get up to 3 coats of clear on a paintjob.

This is PPG ceramiclear, the description is not lying. We used this clearcoat on BMW, Mercedes, or any high end cars when they come in for repairs. The only thing I recommend is that you try to achieve as little trash as possible, because the cut and buff stage is a b**** when trying to get rid of swirl marks.
