The clear coat is because the paint needs the clear coat to bring out the proper color. Base coat/clear coat

However, just about any clear coat will do. The chipping (assuming the chipping is from rocks) will most likely occur regardless of what brand you use or actual painting technique.

If I were you I'd just sand it, and repaint. That's about all you can do. I've used paintscratch paint on lots of grilles and only used their clearcoat a few times. My advice would be to just stay with the $3 Plasti-Kote at Pep Boys. Chipping from rocks hitting it will occur no matter what.
