People are looking for a quick fix to peeling clear coat but sadly there is no quick fix. This car was peeling all over so it needed an entire paint job but the method of sanding and painting will be the same as one panel on any car.

This Honda Accord get s a full and complete paint job but the reason I shot the video was to show how you have to sand the clear coat back when it is peeling. Understand, there is no way, no magic fix, no spraying WD-40 tricks or any non-sense like that to fix or repair clear coat peeling. The only way to fix peeling clear coat is to re-clear it.

There are a few things and sort of tricks you can do before clearing it but if your peeling clear coat is as bad as this car, then you have to sand and feather it back smooth to where you can't see or feel an edge. If you are looking for some magic quick fix, there isn't one. The best thing I could tell you to do if you just don't want it getting any worse or rusting is to shoot clear in the peeled and faded areas. However this is not the correct way to fix it and it will look like crap and not last long.

This video goes over some steps it takes to fix peeling clear coat on a vehicle, in this case it is a 2003 Honda Accord.

The body was in decent shape, there were a few minor dents and dings but nothing really bad. It was harder finding them with the original paint so flat. Most all of the clear had to be sanded off, the only clear that was left was towards the bottom. The clear at the bottom was still very thick and very tough to sand off.

The whole car was put in a urethane primer and block sanded twice, then sealed and painted. It took very little to color sand and buff, the paint job came out better than factory.
