Peeling clear coat of paint

(1/1)

gvincent:
I have a red 66 coupe which has a problem with a peeling clear top coat.
To get a reasonable finish on the car I think I will have to remove all the clear paint and re-apply a new clear coat.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can do this while leaving the red paint underneath intact?
Any help would be much appreciated.

wowdan_wow:
You dont need to remove the clear coat entirely just sand it back to remove the loose flaky bits and apply a new clear coat.  However for a better, lasting finish, and youre right in assuming its best to sand all the clear coat off and start over.
