Re: faded paint and pealing clear coat?

I just wet sanded the peeling clear coat off my car.
It's serving a temporary solution until i get the paint job.
Doesn't get rid of the faded paint, but having just flat red on my car looks WAY better than peeling clear coat.

Wet sand or fine sand a small spot, spray a couple of lite layers of clear on it and see what you think. You can do a whole panel like that and when its hardened buff it out with some rubbing compound.

I've touched up many cars like this over the years.
