Default Clear Coat Quick Fix ?

Hello All,

Just wondering if there is a quick fix for clear coat peeling from the body? I am planning to have her painted in June, but there are a couple of spots that could use some touch up before then.

Thanks in advance

I used to use clear fingernail polish to stop a run in clear coat.

you could buy some spray can clear, but it will look like hell more than likely. if i was you i would be patient and wait for the real base clear.

If it is delaminating, then it will have to be removed and re done.. Only proper fix.. Any shop can easily remove peeling clear and properly prep the surface.. Does not mean the whole body will have to be stripped, but the peeling panels yes.. I guess its the top panels??
