Will I need to repaint this car?

On one of the 560's I've been looking at, there's a 2" spot on the front of the hood where the clear coat has peeled. I posted a question abut this in the detailing section but never got a response so I tried an autopainting site.

I was told that this was a sign the clearcoat was failing from the sun. THey said this will just be the beginning of the clear coat coming off.

Here's a photo. Btw, the small specs you see aren't paint damage, that's just dust.

Anyone else experienced this? Other than this spot, a few small scuffs on the front bumper and a couple of very small dings, the paint looks fine on this car.

What does a quality paint job one a 560 run these days? The car is metallic beige.
