Mine did the same thing in the same place but also did it on the door later. Got to have it sanded down and repainted. It will just keep getting worse and worse as more clear comes off.

no doubt, nothing sux more than spraying your car at the car wash (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) and going, "what the hell is that!" as you watch the **** some flyin off like a mini skirt in a VIP box.

as much as it does suck getting it repainted, at least it looks black so there should be no blending issues.

JL-ws6's car had some issues AT the factory where they redid the quarter with heavy grit paper and it came through 4 years later but the clear was as smooth as ever but under certain lights it looks like someone hit it with a Brillo pad.

meaning, you never know what your going to get up there in Canada.

I paint cars for a living. The quarter needs to be stripped of all the clear that is peeling. Don't let anyone tell u that it needs to be stripped to bare metal. It does'nt. It just needs to be taken down to the base underneath. also make sure that whoever fixes it does not just feather-edge the clear and then paint over it and make sure they use a sealer
