Has anyone had tried to or had any luck repairing clear coat damage to wheel arches? I believe this type of type of damage was fairly common among the GU Series 4-6?

yeah best to take them off then fix em up. i got half a mazda 323 to do but haven't had the time. but it will depend on surface prep as to how it looks and lasts. do the whole piece if you want it not to stand out

Now might be a good time to re vamp the look of your Patrol
going for matt black flares over the colour coded ones

i did a solid white on my gq. yes it was a full respray but its a two pack industrial paint, tough as and no clear coat. i can do small touch ups and 10 mins of buffing you wont see anyting. a good paint shop might be able to mix up the colour you want. not as easy to apply but its tough
