I own a '92 Accord EX and my clear coat is chipping off, should I just get what i can off and let someone re-coat it, or just get a whole new paint job?

 

is there a lot on clear coat chipping off? i have the same problem but i have a lot of lil spots all over my car. i just wet sanded with 1200grit (i think it was 1200) and waxed it.

 

It's on the front panels, right rear panel and both bumpers.

 

just go get some high grit sandpaper and wetsand with water and Dawn dishsoap, i say use Dawn because all other dishsoaps ahve like lotion in them so ur hands feel softer, well itll **** up ur paint if u use those dishsoaps. after that just give it a wax and your done!

 

I'll give it a try...what's the worse that could happen?

if your clear coat is gone, then you're sanding paint -_-.....

before u try sanding your car, why dont you try an abrasive polish instead? i like meguiar's scratchX. if that doesnt work, slowly move up to the more abrasive techniques, eg wet sanding. and whenever u find something that works, be sure to wax that spot after u work on it. don't use the rattle can clear coats, they look like crap unless u take the whole panel off and coat the whole panel. even then, it takes a lot of practice and experience to get it right. gl
