If nothing else OEM paint is ALWAYS more desireable than ANY aftermarket paint, if I were buying a pre-owned car, I would pay for a car that had Clear Bra installed as soon as the car is delivered to the original owner and bypass one that has just been repainted. Plus a good Clear Bra job will cost less than a reasonable repaint, so why not go for a win-win solution?
But that's just me.

Something about the mention of a clear bra that makes me stop thinking about cars.

Yeah, I can justify some patina too but i had a fender bender (and paint cracker) happen the other day so a bit of body work and paint is needed. My estimate, for bumper removal, a bit of minor (really minor) body work, paint and reassembly in Canadian dollars, is 1500.

Dr Chip does a good job to hide the chips. I use on mine, and gets the chips out of mind.

Mine has chips on the front bumper cover, the front fenders, the hood and the rear fenders right in front of the rear wheels. A respray for me will be expensive.
I've used Dr. Colorchip and it's okay. I'll keep doing that until I get a respray.
My car is actually at the body shop right now getting a new rear bumper cover from my airport incident. I'm looking forward to getting it back later this week!

If your car is red or black, Turtle wax Color Magic hides the rash fairly well. You have to really goobber it on the rash and apply a couple of coats. Not perfect, but hides it enough so that you have to be within about 2 feet of the rash to notice it. Lasts about as long as any other wax.
