I recently purchased a vehicle that seems to have damage on the paint. I am looking for advice on what I should do to fix this without having to take the car in and have it re-painted. The paints looks like it is starting to slowly peel off and there seems to be "bubble" like spots all around the paint. I have been sticking to Meguiar's products since they work for me but I have no idea on were I can start fix the paint. Any suggestions?

I couldn't figure out how to work the image uploader on this forums so I just pulled the URL's from photobucket to show you guys how the paint currently looks.

That is clear coat failure, you'll need a repaint.

I was afraid of that! Some co-workers told me I could sand the damage spots with fine sanding paper, but I believe that would damage the paint even more. I guess I'll just have to eat the cost and get the paint job. Thanks for the response.

:whs:

Yep, that clearcoat is toast. Sad to see...

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Yes I would agree - CC failure. Sorry to bear bad news.
