What should I do about tearing clearcoat?

[Comment]

2010 Camaro had it entirely repainted with a custom stripe design.

I had it done be a very reputable shop, but i guess they got lazy on my car or something. The shop has been sold and I have no way of contacting them anymore, so I'll just see what you guys think. Could this present future issues or should I just leave it? It really isnt noticeable, I'm just worried about rust or further peeling of the clear, and for the money I paid this is seriously ridiculous.

It will become an issue. It needs to be repainted.

A paint coating like CQ or Opti-coat should hold the clearcoat from chipping off from that spot!

The entire car? There's no way I can afford another $4,500 paint job.
I'd assume because of the fat stripe I have down the side, if i repaint one panel I have to repaint the others.

I apply this stuff on the bare paint and the edge of the torn clear, and it will stop the failing or whatevers going on?

The Opti Coat maybe, might slow it down...

You should not have to pay for it. Make them do it right.

Not the whole car. The issue is the clear coat. The affected area can be sanded and reshot.

The shop was sold and I really cant find a way to contact the owner. The damage isnt really visible unless you get right up to it, I just want to stop future damage or fix the current damage. I'm visiting a painter from Autorama tomorrow. Someone who might actually know what hes doing.

If you apply it as directed in the opti-coat discussion thread, the clear will stop chipping off.

Corey did a test of it on clearcoat failing paint and the coating held the edges of the clearcoat down!

Oh, this is awesome. I'm going to ask my new painter tomorrow if hes ever heard of it or if he could look at it.

that right there is a tapeline from when they taped the car. it will start cracking as time goes. just get some quotes on how much it would be for reclearing the car. no need for paint, just clear.

That's not good :mad: It will have to be touched up

They may have hit that spot to hard with the buffer, to early after paint.

I just hit a small dime sized CC peeling from the corner of the Q-panel where it meets the taillight with touch up clear coat. It's not smooth because I didn't bother wet sanding or polishing, but it's not that noticeable and has been holding for two years now.
I figured I had nothing to lose and the cost of a repaint to gain.

Just re-paint it
