Its the clearcoat not the paint

your clearcoat has reached the end of its life and is disappearing.

ive heard of one person taking Hours and Hours of tedious work to sand away all of the remaining clearcoat and buff the paint until it shined, but still, thats a ton of work and just temporary.




...only option is repaint

You can get away with just reclearing, you would have to very carefully sand off the old clear. Then reclear.

Sound like a trip to your local auto body shop us in the near future. Get it done now rather than later. Cost efective less overall work.

Well back when I was a n00b I tried removing the pinstripe with a razor, It looked shitty because with it it took some clear with it. So I just put some rattle can clear and looks good, just is kinda orangy texture.

I bought a few cans at Advanced Auto Parts. It was the only place I could find that had any.
