Default Clear Coat Pealing

Well my clear coat is starting to peel in a couple places. Mostly on my rear bumper. Is their anything I can do to help it? I guess its not the end of the world because I can just get that painted.

scuff the surface down and repaint it then make sure you do the clear coat within a 24hour window or the paint wont accept the clearcoat then when it gets wet or brushed up against it will just flake off again...PM me if you have any questions about this
