Default Grrrrrr, i need some paint help.

man this is gonna drive me nuts. every week it seems, something new is wrong with my clutch. well today i went to go and unlock my trunk and notice a big 'water bubble' lookin thing on the trunk. well i go to wipe it off (cause its been raining all last week so i thought it was just water), anyways i wipe it off and it turns out it was my clear coat. so now i have a big patch on my trunck with no clear coat on it. i wiped the actual paint with my shirt and it all just comes off. so now its a ral dull maroon color in that one patch. so what should i do? now this is coming from a gu with not very much cash, so i cant really repaint it. so spit me some ideas

well if you cant get it painted and you are broke the only thing i can recomend is getting a can of black or any other color spray paint and paint that spot so it will not rust......... its better to have a black spot then rather having the car rust away

the reason its doing that is because of a bad paint job in the past

ts the original paintjob on the back end, and it looks rather nice just not right there. would it be better to sand and prime it, or should i just spray paint it?
