My local body shop painted my frame. Way less than a C note
I don't think the clear cover would work with the license frame because it screws into the bumper cover. The screw in location is covered by the license frame.
If you can handle a spray can without drips or runs I would suggest:
sand the frame
prime
sand
spray with touch up paint
sand
spray with touch up paint
repeat until satisfied with finish
clear coat.
Hope this helps,
John
