Re: More, Clear coat repairs

If the bonding between the lacquer and the basecoat has failed,the only way is 
to strip down to the base coat,or even bare metal,re prime,and rebase ,followed 
by a relacquer.

De laminating of the clear from the base is usually caused by bad prep,or poor 
materials.I am afraid that no "easy fix" exists.We often see badly resprayed 
cars where the remedial work,done properly,is more than the cars actual value.I 
always examine secondhand cars carefully,checking for delamination,as it is 
such a $#@*$ to fix.At least it sounds localised in your case.
