clear coat repair

[TWFAUST at aol.com]

I have heard that "acceptable" results can be obtained. However I have  never 
tried it. My advice was to feather the border around the missing clear  coat. 
1000 grit was recommended. It appears that the "color coat" may be thinner  
than ordinary paint, so caution is advised. Several layers of clear 
(Duplicolor)  to bring it above level then sand level finishing with 1000-1500 grit. 
 
Again, I've never tried it. It was cautioned that the repair would only be  
"acceptable", as compared to stripping and repainting.
