Clear Coat is Giving up!!

It seams like every day there is a new bubble. It almost looks like something has been falling on my car, although I know nothing has. The clear is just giving up all over. It sucks that GM screwed this up from the factory. What would a decent same color paint job cost?

Try having a professional detailer take a look at it. They may be able to fix it and make it look Better than new. A good pro paintjob can cost 3-5k

Are we talking about the whole car or sail panel?

If clear is bubbling and peeling off then the only thing a "professional detailer" can do is recommend a good body shop.

man, this is why im glad a good friend of mine is a body guy/painter, and will shoot my car for cost of paint, which he gets a discount on bc the paint supplier sponsors his drag car...

however, like stated above, a decent paint job will cost you around 3-5k...

however get to know the guys in your local area, and see if you can find a guy who you would more than trust to shoot your car... my buddy did another friend of mines car for 2k

here it is day it rolled out
