Default 94 Civic EX Clear Coat lifting on Car Roof

Howdy All

My little red car has a cosmetic issue. Specifically the Clear Coat is lifting on the Roof Panel, the Trunk Lid and starting down the driver side, passenger door frame.

Most reputable Body Shops won't take the job without spraying the whole car.

Live in Dallas Texas. Any recommendations for repairing.

Thanks Y'all

paint is too far gone. you have a 20yr old car. too many panels to blend in with the old clear coat. easier to spray the whole car.

take it to a body shop. To do it right will cost from 1300-2100 for labor prep, sand and spray.

Much Obliged.

Ya, figured. Wonder how many others have a similar issue? What might be the cause(s)? Poorly prep'd surface before the clear coat applied? Poor choice of materials (cheap clear coat spray)? Texas Sun? Nah, couldn't be the heat.....

Any recommendations for a Body Shop in the North Dallas Area? Herb's Auto Body comes to mind.
