you used a much too heavy grit on your car. you could have just wetsanded it and use the base coat as a primer but now that you are down to the metal you need to use a lighter grit and then prime

whoa whoa please dont listen to him

when you say its peeling off or coming off is this is refernce to the 90`s delamination where the base and clear was coming off in sheets, or is this a situation where the part was repainted and due to poor preping the clear is coming off

i have done repaints where the clear would come off with my blow gun, or just a bondo spreader YIKES!! so before i give my advice ya need to explain a bit more
