Hello All,
The clear overcoat on the bonnet/hood of my car is starting to peel off. I am not sure if overcoat is the correct term. It is the clear coating over the paint. Several spots, of varying size, mainly along the front of the bonnet. These patches do not necessarily correspond with stone chips. Also, have one starting on the top side of the boot/trunk. I noticed a few other Passats of similar vintage and they seem to be in the same state.
Is there any way to halt this before it all peels away? Is there a way to "fill in" the patches that are already there? Could I do any of this myself or is a paint-shop required? Many thanks in advance.
