Wish it was that simple, just re-spray a new clearcoat, and you can do just that.

Both body shops I talked to, said the same thing....re-spray over the old and it'll cause the new to peel and flake off...what you have now isn't sticking,so what you put over that will just come off with the old stuff.

If when you're compounding a test area (and test an area where the clearcoat is bad...it makes no sense to "test" an area where the clearcoat is good!)...if you quickly get down to the primer, your paint is dead....new paint won't adhere well to dead paint.

One shop said they would do just a re-spray and they would write a guarantee that it would start peeling within a few months! The other shop said they would not do it, period (I liked these guys the best).

I'm tempted to get a gallon of a good Cream colored enamel paint, tape off the roof, and brush it on. Two-tone like the MiniCoopers. If turns out OK, GREAT! If looks like hammered squat...well I was gonna sand it down anyway.

This deal kinda reminds me of a cartoon I saw of this caveman plumber looking down into a hole in the ground and saying..."Ohhhh, this not be cheap to fix"!
