Says to put the clear coat on before the color coat. I thought it was
the other way around. I would have thought the clear coat is shiny and
color coat won't adhere to it well.



See the full answer below. They are using the clear coat as you would a
primer. Yes, it is a gloss paint but the color coat will still adhere
to it if it is solvent based.

I did a touch up on my last car but just put the color and clear, no
base. Blended in and was invisible as it was a fairly dark blue.


Full Answer
Apply a clear coat to the blemishes, particularly those that are large
in size, to act as a base for the paint.
