Strictly my noob opinion here

I understand the way you're thinking but nope, it doesn't quite work that way.

I would pull him close to me, in a not so loving way and commence to slapping him silly.

It's not a PIA, it's impossible to do it the way you're trying to do it. That panel has to be resprayed in order to fix it right. Clear coat is like water in a swimming pool. The more water you see, the more blue the water looks. In order to replace the clear coat where you have sanded it off and make it look exactly like it did before MUST be done with a spray gun. Problem is, you just can't spray one spot on the car and make it match. That's why you have to spray the entire fender. There is no way around that unless your name is Chip Foose.
The question I have is
who's videos did you watch? You say that you were trying to see if you could remove some orange peel. In my videos I STRONGLY state that you can NOT do that with factory paint so surely you didn't watch my wet sanding videos!

Yes I do. The nearest body shop that does excellent body work is in your future. All you have to do is show them what you did, tell them to fix it and then go home. They will call you when it's fixed. It gets no easier than that.
When my bumper gets enough rock chips on it, I don't bother with touch-up paint. I do one thing:
Problem solved.
