Several years ago, when the clear coat on the hood of my 92 300D was badly delaminating, I had it repainted. Now the trunk is badly delaminating. Moreover, there's a car I've thought about buying that is delaminating all over. My question: if the paint itself is in good condition in a situation like this, can I simply strip and reapply the clear coat? Or does tend to be a throwing-good-money-after-bad approach?

Thanks.
