Looks like some sort of clear coat failure. Nothing short of a repaint will be able to fix that.

nothing you can do. just sit back and watch the cancer spread.



i've got the same problem, but my car is really dark, and the peeling clearcoat is white, it looks really bad. i'm tempted to try a light sanding in the effected areas, and using a clear top-coat/sealer. if it works at all, i'll post the results here.

yeah, that paint is going, bummer. depending on how bad it is, you could probably get away with a temporary fix by wet sanding the area with really fine sandpaper and then go over it with a buffing compound to shine it up.

Well I rather have repainted the same color. Since it matches the interior and maybe I could a little more money out of it when i sell it.
