you wouldn't need to repaint the black... only the clear in this case. you could wetsand the clear down, which would help cut down on the swirls, spray the new clear, wetsand that, and buff.

Using a buffer can be really easy or it can burn through, just be careful around corners and don't leave it there too long.
Sometimes the paint is too far gone, but I've gotten good results with quite a few cars, especially red.
very good advice. espeacially be carefull on corners & such. clear is thinner in these spots, and you'll burn through prolly down to the primer coat. take your time, and try not to rush. if it is too far gone, you should look into repainting. any pics? may be easier to advise further w/ pics of the red...
