Front bumper clear coat question

Hi all. My front bumper has a bunch of bugs marks on it. Apparently they were never cleaned quick enough. Now they pretty much mark down the clearcoat on the bumper. I tried scratch remover products and other things with no luck. The are just too deep in the clear coat. So anyone has any experience painting ? I was thinking removing the bumper and sand the clearcoat and spray paint the clearcoat on it. I don't know if this is a good idea and what grids of sand paper i need. I'm trying to avoid taking it to a paintshop but if there no other way then i'll take it. Thanks.

I bought an arsenal of sap bug & tar remover and sap left stains as well.
If I try it, think I'd lightly wet sand with 600 grit (use a block where you can), then dry it and check for a dull but even color. Repeat as necessary. Then window cleaner to clean up. Then comes the clear coat with a lp gun. Go easy on any hardeners so it doesn't crack. The gloss probably won't match if I do it. If you need it perfect, see the man.

Yeah i'm taking it to the man. I did the license cover to try it out and it came out pretty good but it was a pain. It's going to only cost me 100 dollars so that's not too bad. Thanks for the replies guys.
