Default My clearcoat is peeling. Need Help.

Ok, so my clearcoat is peeling on the front clip, right where the front quarter panel and the front bumper meet (next to the right front tire). What can I do? It's about a 1" by 1" spot.

sorry to hear that but the only thing that can really be done is to have the front clip recleared

x2..sucks, but once the clear is coming off, its is just a better idea to repaint the front bumper.

My car did that. Its on the driver side where the front bumper lines up with the fender. Iam just going to sand that that little part and reclear it, but I do body work on the side so I dont suggest you try this.
