you apparently don't. most parts are not primered black. usually, only reproduction stamped steel parts such as hoods, fenders & such come primered black. and it's "electroprimered", not a normal primer. don't screw w/ maaco. a $400 paint job will look like exactly that. bite the bullet, and have it done right the first time, and never worry about it again. i may only be 17, but i've done this crap my whole life. the best thing to do is sand it all off. don't try to cover anything. have it sanded down to factory primer or color, either is fine. use sealer, then primer, then color, then clear. sand and buff your clear... good s new. it's the only real way to fix it. and the issue with the emissions or whatever that guy said is bull. the trouble was caused originally because everyone changed from laucquer base paints to the newer acrylics. that had nothing to do with your paint fading. your paint faded due to harsh conditions and an old style paint. that often happens when a finish is not taken care of properly (i.e. washing periodically, and waxing). paint requires some lovin' to make it last. good luck

also rogue, don't be an ass... we're here to help each other, not insult due to our little ego problems. and so you know, clear doesn't "fade off". it doesn't fade @ all. the color coat fades beneath the clear. the clear flakes off due to poor adhesion and poor care.

good luck mxl
