You need to sand it down flat, or do it lightly and use high build primer then wet dry sand it flat and smooth. Then paint and lacquer. If it orange peel then wet dry sand that, then machine polish.

But you'll find that's too good of a job and won't match the VW paint standard lol

Maybe some nail laquer on the edges will keep it peeling further.....

If i just spray clear laquer over the other peeled bits will that make the paint underneath shine again

Yes it will but you'll need to do the whole bonnet and you will see lines where it has peeled.
